Scheriproct is an ointment especially made to cure external piles, haemorrhoids, and anal itching. The medication affords short term relief for 5 to 7 days for symptoms of haemorrhoids, pruritus and, proctitis, anal fissures, and itching of the anal area.
Scheriproct Ointment has a dual-action effect, using the ingredients prednisolone and cinchocaine, to ease discomfort and reduce haemorrhoids.
Prednisolone is categorised as a Corticosteroids, which relieve pain and inflammation by working within the body's own cells to reduce the chemicals that cause the skin to become red, painful, itchy and swollen.
Cinchocaine is a medicine known as a local anaesthetic and reduces the pain and irritation caused by haemorrhoids by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain, temporarily numbing the area where the ointment has been applied.
