Proctosedyl Suppositories help relieve pain, swelling, itching and inflammation caused by internal haemorrhoids. Insert one suppository exactly as prescribed, preferably after opening your bowels. Common side effects include mild irritation, burning or discomfort after insertion. Avoid prolonged use unless advised by your prescriber. Increase your fibre intake, drink plenty of fluids and seek medical advice if rectal bleeding continues or symptoms fail to improve.
