Description
Indications
Rectal hydrocortisone is employed in combination with other medications for the treatment of proctitis and ulcerative colitis. It is also utilized to alleviate itching and swelling associated with hemorrhoids and other rectal problems.
Hydrocortisone, belonging to the class of medications called corticosteroids, operates by activating natural substances in the skin to diminish swelling, redness, and itching.
Uses and Dosage
Hydrocortisone rectal is available in various forms, including cream, enema, suppositories, and foam, all designed for rectal use. To ensure proper and effective use, follow the directions on your prescription or product label meticulously.
If any part appears unclear, seek clarification from your doctor or pharmacist.
Use rectal hydrocortisone precisely as directed, avoiding deviations such as using more or less of it or using it more frequently than prescribed by your doctor.
For proctitis, hydrocortisone rectal foam is typically applied one or two times a day for 2 to 3 weeks, followed by intermittent use every other day if necessary until improvement is observed. Hydrocortisone rectal suppositories are generally used two or three times daily for a 2-week period, with the potential for treatment extension up to 6 to 8 weeks in severe cases. Improvement in proctitis symptoms may occur within 5 to 7 days.
For hemorrhoids, hydrocortisone rectal cream is usually applied up to 3 or 4 times daily for adults and children aged 12 and older. If hydrocortisone is obtained over the counter and there is no improvement within 7 days, cease use and consult your doctor. It is important not to insert the cream into the rectum with your fingers.
In the case of ulcerative colitis, hydrocortisone rectal enema is commonly used nightly for 21 days, with potential symptom improvement within 3 to 5 days. Continuous use for 2 to 3 months may be necessary. If colitis symptoms persist after 2 or 3 weeks, contact your doctor.
Dosing adjustments may occur during your treatment to ensure the use of the lowest effective dose. Notify your doctor of any unusual stress on your body, such as surgery, illness, or infection. Report changes in symptoms or health status during treatment.
Hydrocortisone rectal suppositories may cause staining on clothing and fabrics, so take precautions to prevent staining when using this medication.
Before using hydrocortisone rectal foam for the first time, carefully read the provided instructions. Seek clarification from your doctor or pharmacist on any aspects that are unclear.
