Indications for the use of suppositories from hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoidal rectal drugs can have a diverse range of effects and are used in proctologic practice:

  • at different stages of hemorrhoid treatment;
  • with bleeding from the anus and rectum;
  • inflammatory processes of the rectum;
  • at cracks and unpleasant sensations in the field of an anal aperture.

If the suppository is used with an anus of the anus, it is extremely important to first ascertain whether bleeding is associated with the development of neoplasms of the rectum.

Pharmacodynamics

How does the suppository work from hemorrhoids? In order to understand this, it is necessary to understand what the causes of hemorrhoids are. Unpleasant sensations in the area of the anus are only external signs of the disease. The reason lies in the development of violations of the vascular wall, worsening of blood circulation in the hemorrhoidal veins. Venous walls lose elasticity, become flabby, stretch under the influence of blood pressure.

Medicinal suppository affect the mechanisms of the disease in a complex way: strengthen the venous walls, tone the vessels, facilitate the flow of blood. With the use of Suppositoria rectalia, capillary permeability improves, the inflammatory reaction subsides, blood thinens, and blood clots dissolve.

Thus, almost all known hemorrhoidal suppositories have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, analgesic and angioprotective action, as well as stimulating regenerative processes in tissues. Suppositories improve blood circulation, have local anesthetic and antipruritic properties.

Pharmacokinetics

Rectal suppositories can have both local and general effects on the vascular system of the body. The active substances of these dosage forms are amenable to partial absorption in the rectum. Half-life is about an hour and a half.

Signs of the effects of the drug appear within a few minutes after the introduction. The duration of the therapeutic effect depends on the time of active substances in the rectum, therefore it is recommended to apply Suppositoria rectalia for the evening, using them just before bedtime.
