Release form
This product is not available in the form of tablets. It is produced in several forms of release, including ointment and suppositories. One gram of ointment intended for rectal administration contains 920 μg of fluocortolone pivalate and 950 μg of fluorocortolone caproate. As auxiliary components are: castor oil, 2-octyldodecanol and castor oil hydrogenated. Also included is a flavored citrus-rose oil, as well as polyethylene glycol 400 monoricinoleate. This is the composition of the ointment for rectal administration.
In one suppository contains slightly less active components. So, fluocortolone pivalate is present in an amount of 610 mg, and fluocortolone caproate is 630 μg. Another active ingredient is cinchocaine hydrochloride, its content is 1 mg. In the rectal ointment, it is slightly larger - 5 mg. As an auxiliary component is a solid fat.
Pharmacodynamics
Ultraproject is a complex preparation. It has a local anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, it acts as an antipruritic and analgesic. Thus, the pharmacodynamics of Ultraproject consists of two main components: fluocortolone and cinchocaine.
The composition of Ultraproject includes esters of fluocortolone. Their main feature is a different molecular mass. In addition, the degree of dissolution in fats is also different. This allows you to reach the source of inflammation at different rates. This effect determines the rapid onset of relief, as well as its long-term therapeutic effect.
Fluocortolone is a topical glucocorticosteroid. Its action is directed to the removal of inflammation, itching and pain. In addition, the component performs anti-allergic action. These effects are characteristic of all glucocorticosteroids with local action. All this is achieved due to a number of changes that occur in the body under the influence of these hormones.
Pharmacokinetics
The anti-inflammatory effect of the drug is achieved due to a significant decrease in enzyme activity. After all, they lead to the destruction of cells and tissues. So, pharmacokinetics is the action of the drug itself. Thanks to fluocortolone, the rate of synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and kinins decreases. In the body they play the role of mediators of inflammation.
Glucocorticosteroids lead to inhibition of lipid peroxidation, as well as the formation of free radicals in the heart of inflammation. This is how the anticosidant action manifests itself. There is a significant decrease in the permeability of the vascular wall, the amount of protein and water decreases.
Antipruritic and antiallergic action is achieved due to glucocorticosteroids. They stabilize the walls of mast cells and reduce the release of histamine into the blood. With local use of the drug, microcirculation of tissues is significantly improved, and their puffiness decreases. Itching is reduced, regeneration is accelerated, healing is faster.
Another active ingredient Ultraproct is zincchocaine. He is classified as a local anesthetic. It leads to inhibition of generation, as well as conduction of nerve impulses. This is due to the normalization of the cellular membranes of the existing nerve fibers. This helps to block sensitive endings, as well as the inability to develop pain syndrome. Penetration into the blood from the remedy is low. When you get into the blood plasma, metabolism occurs in the liver, and is excreted by the kidneys.
Dosing and administration
Before applying suppositories, you need to take care of the hygiene of the anus. This will achieve maximum therapeutic effect. It is advisable to use the product immediately after defecation. Using Ultraprotect even in small doses leads to complete relief and even the disappearance of unpleasant symptoms. Despite this reception must continue. Prescribe the way of administration and dose Ultraproction should be a doctor, individually.
Ointment for rectal use. Usually in this form, Ultraprot apply 2 times a day. On the first day of use, the number of applications can be more than 4. This is done for the purpose of quick relief. Before use, you should thoroughly wash your hands, then squeeze out a small amount of ointment and rub your finger into the anus. If there is an urgent need, the product is applied directly to the anus. For these purposes, there is a special tip, which goes in combination with the tool itself. It is believed that the application of a finger is the most effective. If a person suffers from the presence of hemorrhoids, first you need to treat them with ointment, and then press them back.
Suppositories. In the form of suppositories Ultraproect is used once a day, preferably at night. On the first day, 2-3 suppositories can be used, for quick relief. You need to insert them as deep as possible. If the suppositories accidentally softened, they should be placed for a short time in cold water, to harden them. After use, you should wash your hands thoroughly.

This is possible if the woman systematically takes glucocorticosteroids, especially in the first months of pregnancy.
There are no reliable data on the effect of Ultraprotect on the fetus, therefore it is not recommended to use the remedy at the initial stages of pregnancy. In the second and third trimester, the use of medication is possible only as directed by the doctor. And the positive effect for the mother should be much higher than the potential risk for the child.

Despite its positive effect, Ultraprot can not be used by all. The risk group includes people who are highly sensitive to the main components of Ultraprotect, namely, fluocortolone and cinchocaine. The use of the agent in this case can lead to the appearance of negative reactions on the part of the body, up to a strong allergy. This is not all contraindications, which relate to the use of the drug.
Use Ultraproprote is not worth it to people who have tuberculosis or syphilitic processes in the body. But this applies only to those places where the defeat itself is. Rectal use in this case is not excluded. It is forbidden to use in the presence of viral diseases, including chicken pox. Finally, the main contraindication is pregnancy, for up to 14 weeks. During this period there is a risk of development of pathological processes in the child.
Side effects Ultraproject
Ultra-perfectly well tolerated, due to the fact that it contains a small amount of fluocortolone. In this case, side effects from taking Ultraprotect are not observed. Despite the fact that the reception of glucocorticosteroids are characterized by negative manifestations on the part of the body.
With prolonged use of Ultraprot, more than one month, the development of side effects of local action is possible. Most often this manifests itself in the form of skin atrophy and allergic reactions. The skin can begin to itch, blush and become covered with a rash. It is enough to reduce the dose of Ultraprotect or completely to abandon it, as negative symptoms themselves will recede.

[10]
Overdose
When using the drug rectally, the occurrence of negative manifestations on the part of the body is impossible. To develop an overdose can only happen with a random oral intake. A person can accidentally swallow a small amount of ointment or suppository. In this case, the systemic action of the cinchocaine component is not excluded.
With such an effect, the patient may have cardiovascular disorders. This entails the inhibition of myocardial function, as well as the development of neurological disorders. Often everything is accompanied by convulsions, as well as depressed breathing.
Specific antidote has no means, so a person needs to immediately wash the stomach. Ultraproct is worth withdrawing from the body in order to eliminate the risk of serious deviations. After washing, reception of enterosorbents is appointed, then symptomatic therapy.

Interactions with other drugs
This tool, has passed more than one clinical trial, as a result of which it was revealed that it can be used absolutely with any medications. The medication is not capable of oppressing the action of others. Despite this, it is better to interact with other drugs under the supervision of a doctor.
So, the simultaneous use of funds with the same composition and action can lead to increased influence on the body. This does not always affect favorably. So, such an effect can quickly alleviate a person's condition, but at the same time translate to side effects caused by an overdose.
Interaction refers to the use of a drug with other drugs that do not belong to this group. But if it is a question of means with similar actions, development of unpleasant by-effects is possible. Therefore, self-medication does not carry security. Moreover, self-administration of drugs in the wrong dosage can worsen a person's condition.

Compliance with simple storage rules will allow using Ultraprotect for a specified time.
Shelf life
