Procto-Glyvenol Rectal Cream (30g) is a trusted dual-action treatment for the local relief of internal and external hemorrhoids, popularly known as piles in Nigeria. It is formulated to address the discomfort, pain, and swelling associated with rectal inflammation and anal fissures.
Dual-Action Relief for Piles
This cream combines two active ingredients to provide both immediate and long-term relief:
- Tribenoside (5%): This venotonic and anti-inflammatory agent works by reducing the permeability of small blood vessels and improving vascular tone. It helps to shrink the swollen tissues that cause the sensation of "piles."
- Lidocaine Hydrochloride (2.12%): A powerful local anesthetic that provides fast numbing. It quickly relieves the sharp pain, itching, and burning or pepperish sensations that often accompany hemorrhoids.
Key Benefits of Procto-Glyvenol
- Fast Pain Relief: The Lidocaine component acts quickly to numb the area.
- Reduces Inflammation: Helps to decrease the size of both internal and external piles.
- Improves Comfort: Relieves persistent itching and the uncomfortable "pepperish" feeling.
- Internal & External Use: Comes with a convenient applicator for easy insertion to treat internal piles.
How to Use Procto-Glyvenol Rectal Cream
For the best results, follow these steps:
- Clean the area: Gently clean and dry the rectal area before application.
- Acute phase: Apply the cream twice daily (morning and evening) until the symptoms improve.
- Maintenance: Once the acute pain and swelling have reduced, you can apply it once daily.
- Internal Piles: Use the screw-on applicator provided to insert the cream into the rectum. Clean the applicator thoroughly after each use.
Important Safety Information
- Does it burn? Some people may feel a slight, temporary sensation upon application. However, Lidocaine is included specifically to prevent pain and burning. If you wonder why it feels "pepperish" initially, it is usually the medication starting to work on sensitive tissue.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, especially during the first trimester, consult your GoMed pharmacist or doctor before use.
- Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to Lidocaine or Tribenoside.
