Xyloproct Ointment

The Xyloproct ointment can be used to reduce the pain, inflammation, and itching associated with haemorrhoids.

Hydrocortisone contains lidocaine and hydrocortisone as the active ingredients in Xyloproct.

Lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, numbs the site where it is used. Lidocaine temporarily blocks the flow of pain messages along nerve fibres and provides relief from itching and pain.

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. The immune system releases natural substances that cause inflammation. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, which can lead to irritation, redness and swelling. Hydrocortisone works inside cells to reduce the production of these substances. It can be applied to the area around the anus to reduce swelling and itching caused by haemorrhoids or other conditions.

Follow the instructions of your doctor when using Xyloproct Ointment. If you are unsure, consult a pharmacist at Pharmacy4u or your doctor. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after you use this medicine.

Your doctor will advise you on how much and how often you should use the ointment. The ointment should usually be applied to the affected area multiple times per day.

Each day, you can use up to 6 grams (grams) of the ointment. It is approximately a third of one tube.

Xyloproct Ointment shouldn't be used for a longer period than prescribed.

Your doctor might recommend that you take a break from treatment if your treatment is prolonged (up to three weeks), especially if irritation occurs around the area where the ointment was applied.

Your doctor might perform a patch test to determine if irritation is caused by Xyloproct Ointment.

An applicator is included with the ointment. If you are required to use the applicator, your doctor will let you know. If you are told by your doctor to use the applicator for pain relief, make sure to not put too much product in the back passage. After each use, clean the applicator thoroughly.

You can apply Xyloproct Ointment several times per day, depending on how severe your condition is. Use a special applicator to apply the ointment intrarectally.

Consult your doctor before taking Xyloproct Ointment if any of the following applies to you:

Side effects are possible with Xyloproct, as with all medications. These side effects are mild and go away in some time or as the body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction (rash or swelling of the face or shortness of breathing), stop using Xyloproct immediately.
