Entofoam 10% Foam 20.8 gm

Your doctor may prescribe Entofoam 10% Foam 20.8 gm to treat the following conditions:

• Haemorrhoids: Helps reduce swelling, pain, itching, and irritation caused by inflamed haemorrhoids.
• Ulcerative proctitis: Reduces inflammation of the rectal lining and helps relieve rectal pain, urgency, and bleeding.
• Proctitis: Helps control inflammation of the rectum caused by inflammatory bowel disease, radiation therapy, or other conditions.
• Anal itching (Pruritus ani): Relieves persistent itching, irritation, and inflammation around the anal area.

Entofoam 10% Foam 20.8 gm delivers targeted anti-inflammatory treatment directly to the affected rectal tissues. By reducing swelling, redness, and irritation at the source, it provides effective relief while limiting the amount of medicine absorbed into the rest of the body.

• Relieves hemorrhoid symptoms: Helps reduce swelling, itching, burning, and discomfort associated with inflamed hemorrhoids, making bowel movements more comfortable.
• Controls rectal inflammation: Calms inflammation in conditions such as proctitis and ulcerative proctitis, helping relieve pain, irritation, and urgency.
• Promotes healing of affected tissues: Reduces inflammation and irritation, allowing damaged rectal tissues to recover more effectively.
• Improves daily comfort: Makes sitting, walking, and other everyday activities more comfortable by easing persistent rectal discomfort.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Check the label for directions and use it as advised. Hold the can upright and fill the applicator. Insert the applicator gently into the rectum while standing with one leg raised or lying on your side, then fully push the plunger.
• Shake the can vigorously before use.
• Always separate the applicator and wash it well after use.

• Increase your fibre intake: Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes to soften stools and reduce straining during bowel movements.
• Stay well hydrated: Drink 8–10 glasses of water daily unless your doctor advises otherwise, as adequate hydration helps prevent constipation.
• Practice good bowel habits: Avoid prolonged sitting on the toilet, do not strain excessively, and respond promptly when you feel the urge to have a bowel movement.
• Keep the area clean: Gently wash the anal area with water or fragrance-free wipes after each bowel movement and pat the skin dry instead of rubbing.
• Take warm sitz baths: Soak the affected area in warm water for 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times daily, to soothe irritation and promote healing.

• Apply after bowel movements: Using Entofoam 10% Foam 20.8 gm after emptying your bowels allows the medicine to remain in contact with the affected area for longer and improves its effectiveness.
• Wash your hands before and after use: This helps prevent contamination of the medication and reduces the risk of introducing infection.
• Do not exceed the prescribed duration: Prolonged use of rectal corticosteroids can thin the skin and increase the risk of local infections or delayed healing.
• Avoid using other rectal products simultaneously: Unless specifically directed by your doctor, do not apply other creams, ointments, or suppositories at the same time.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen: Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe rectal pain, bleeding, fever, signs of infection, or if your symptoms fail to improve within one week of treatment.
