Use of the sea-buckthorn suppositories from hemorrhoids during pregnancy

The opinions of medical specialists regarding the use of sea buckthorn suppositories from hemorrhoids during pregnancy are ambiguous. The instruction assumes the possibility of using the drug during pregnancy only as a last resort. However, many doctors prescribe sea buckthorn oil to pregnant women, since they believe that this natural product is not capable of harming under any circumstances.

It is worth noting that scientists have not conducted thorough research on this subject, and there is simply no information on the effect of suppositories on fetal development and pregnancy. Therefore, it can be assumed that it is possible to use a suppository with sea-buckthorn during pregnancy, however, only a doctor can prescribe such a drug, since the treatment will be carried out under his control.

Self-administration of sea-buckthorn candles for pregnant and lactating women is not recommended.

Contraindications

Despite the safety of sea buckthorn oil, sea buckthorn suppository from hemorrhoids can not be used by everyone.

Contraindications include those suffering from hypersensitivity to the components of candles, or an allergy to the fruits of sea buckthorn.

It is not advisable to put the suppository in the period of diarrhea, as they can intensify peristalsis and will not have time to show their therapeutic effect completely.

Childbearing and breastfeeding are not considered contraindications to the use of suppositories with sea-buckthorn, but the medical process must be supervised by a medical specialist.

Side effects of the sea-buckthorn suppositories from hemorrhoids

The most common side effect that occurs during the treatment of sea buckthorn suppositories from hemorrhoids is a sensation of burning or itching in the anal sphincter zone. This sensation is transient, since it is associated with the ingress of the sea buckthorn oil into the cracks and microdamages of the tissues, and passes by itself.

Very rarely sea buckthorn oil causes digestive disorders, and even less often - an allergic reaction.

If during treatment of hemorrhoids with sea-buckthorn suppositories there were any unpleasant sensations or symptoms, then it is necessary to temporarily stop the use of the drug and contact the doctor.

Overdose

After rectal administration of large doses of suppositories, a transient digestive disorder may occur, which manifests itself in the form of diarrhea and bloating. This phenomenon occurs independently with a decrease in the number of suppositories used.

If signs of an overdose do not disappear, but, conversely, intensify, it makes sense to urgently consult a doctor for medical advice.

Systemic overdose of sea buckthorn candles did not happen.

Interactions with other drugs

It is undesirable to prescribe simultaneously several different medications of rectal administration, such as suppositories, suppositories, intrarectal tablets.

Sea-buckthorn suppositories from hemorrhoids are perfectly combined with any injections, oral tablets, solutions, syrups, capsules, as well as ointments, creams or compresses. Treatment of hemorrhoids suppositories can be supplemented by carrying out sedentary baths or applying lotions.

Storage conditions

If you store the sea buckthorn suppository in a warm place, then they can simply melt. Therefore, it is best to ensure their storage in a cool place - for example, in a refrigerator, without removing it from the factory blister. Each suppository is taken from the package just before its application.

Do not allow children to touch medicines, print and play with them, as this can lead to unpredictable negative consequences.

Shelf life

Sea-buckthorn candles, which are used to treat hemorrhoids, can be stored for up to a year and a half, subject to storage conditions.

If during this period the suppository has changed its appearance, if an odor has appeared or a color has changed, then such a drug is considered unfit for use.

If the expiration date of the drug has expired and the suppository has not changed outwardly, it does not mean that they can be used even further: at the end of the shelf life, the drug should be discarded.

Sea-buckthorn suppository from hemorrhoids is one of the safest and most effective drugs, especially at the initial stage of the disease development. If you combine the treatment of a suppository with a diet for hemorrhoids, then a positive result will be detected in a very short time.
