About Proctosedyl BD Cream

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). An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding.
 
Proctosedyl BD Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely: Beclomethasone (steroid), phenylephrine (sympathomimetic agent), and lignocaine (local anaesthetic). 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, reducing the pain sensation. 
 
You are advised to use Proctosedyl BD Cream for as long as your doctor prescribes it, depending on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience specific common 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, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Do not use Proctosedyl BD Cream if you have a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor before using Proctosedyl BD Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Proctosedyl BD Cream is not recommended for children as efficacy and safety have not been established. Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it might cause constipation.
