About Proctosedyl BD Cream

Proctosedyl BD Cream is a specialised rectal medication prescribed to relieve the pain, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures. It works locally at the site of discomfort to provide rapid relief from painful flare-ups and help soothe irritated tissues. By acting directly on the affected area, it helps you manage symptoms and recover comfortably.

For the best results, apply Proctosedyl BD Cream with the consistency and frequency recommended by your doctor, typically after bowel movements. Keeping a regular application routine ensures steady relief from swelling and discomfort. Alongside this treatment, incorporating simple lifestyle changes, such as drinking more water and eating a high-fibre diet, can significantly aid your recovery and prevent future issues.

While using Proctosedyl BD Cream, some people may notice mild, temporary local reactions such as a slight burning sensation, redness, or itching. These symptoms usually resolve on their own as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if you experience persistent irritation or any serious issues like rectal bleeding, stop using the product and consult your doctor immediately.

Before starting Proctosedyl BD Cream, talk to your doctor if you have underlying health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or local skin infections. Do not use this if you have a known allergy to any of the active ingredients in this medication. Your doctor will help determine if this is the safest treatment option for your specific situation.

This medication can sometimes interact with other substances, especially blood pressure or heart medicines, as small amounts of the active components can be absorbed into your system. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or elderly before applying this medicine to ensure safe usage.

How Proctosedyl BD Cream Works

Proctosedyl BD Cream combines three active components that work together to target the primary causes of rectal discomfort. The first component, beclomethasone, is a mild corticosteroid that reduces swelling, redness, and inflammation. It works by stopping the release of natural chemical messengers in the body that trigger inflammatory responses. The second component, phenylephrine, is a decongestant that temporarily constricts or narrows the local blood vessels in the rectal area. Constricting these vessels reduces swelling and relieves the pressure and congestion associated with haemorrhoids. The third component, lignocaine, is a local anaesthetic that works by temporarily blocking pain signals along the nerves. It provides rapid, temporary relief from intense pain, burning sensations, and severe itching.

What if I have taken an overdose of Proctosedyl BD Cream

If you suspect an overdose, especially if the medicine has been accidentally swallowed or applied in excess, leading to symptoms like extreme dizziness, rapid heart rate, or sweating, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control centre right away.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Increase your daily intake of dietary fibre by eating more whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables to soften your stool and prevent painful straining.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, especially water (about 8 to 10 glasses daily), to maintain soft stools and promote regular bowel movements.
  • Avoid straining during bowel movements, as this increases pressure on the rectal veins and can worsen haemorrhoids and fissures.
  • Soak the rectal area in warm water (a sitz bath) for 15 to 20 minutes two to three times a day to soothe irritation and relax the muscles.
  • Avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time; stand up and move around frequently to reduce pressure on the pelvic veins.

FAQs

Proctosedyl BD Cream is used to treat pain and bleeding associated with anal fissures, external or internal haemorrhoids (piles), post-haemorrhoidectomy pain (pain after operation done to remove piles), and proctitis (inflammation of the rectum).
Proctosedyl BD Cream is a combination of three drugs: beclomethasone, phenylephrine, and lignocaine. Beclomethasone blocks the chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Phenylephrine decreases swelling by shrinking the blood vessels in the affected area. Lignocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.
No, Proctosedyl BD Cream should not be used on the face or other body parts. It is intended to treat pain and bleeding in piles and anal fissures. It should be applied in the anorectal area only.
The symptoms of anal fissure and piles are similar. However, an anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus, whereas piles are the inflamed and swollen veins of the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding during stool passage.
Proctosedyl BD Cream may cause side effects, such as a burning sensation, irritation, itching and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
You should generally not use Proctosedyl BD Cream for more than 7 days unless specifically directed by your doctor, as long-term use can lead to thinning of the sensitive skin in the rectal area. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve.
The safety of Proctosedyl BD Cream during pregnancy has not been fully established, and it should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Talk to your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant.
Yes, Proctosedyl BD Cream can be applied inside the rectum using the provided applicator, but you must do so gently and only as directed by your doctor. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure of how to use the applicator.
If you experience rectal bleeding or notice blood in your stool, stop using the medication and seek medical attention immediately, as this can be a sign of a more serious condition. Talk to your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.
You should exercise caution and consult your doctor before using Proctosedyl BD Cream if you have high blood pressure, as one of the active ingredients can constrict blood vessels and potentially affect blood pressure. Talk to your doctor to see if this is safe for you.
Do not flush expired Proctosedyl BD Cream down the toilet or pour it into the drain. Consult your local pharmacist or waste disposal authorities to find out how to safely discard unused medication in your area. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about storage.
