Reviews

We picked up some feedback from people who used Proctosedil:

Oksana. Her husband often has hemorrhoids, after lifting heavy or drunk alcohol, and after using something sharp. Candles he does not recognize and until some time he was treated with the ointment Proctosidil. And most importantly, she helped him, took off painful sensations, removed inflammation. Usually everything came back to normal after a week, there were a little more or a little less. Hanging from the degree of inflammation. The last time, and it was about 2 weeks ago, ointment did not help. About 2 weeks of its use, they realized that it's time to apply something else, and apply ointment as an auxiliary.
Pauline. Prokosedil always is in my medicine cabinet as I lead a sedentary lifestyle and sometimes suffer from constipation. For me, this is one of the most effective drugs for hemorrhoids. Within literally 2-3 days, it effectively relieves pain, eliminates itching and dryness. I did not feel any side effects on myself. While other medications were used, other more severe symptoms developed, but with proctosyltil to this did not reach, everything passes very quickly.
Irina. Proctosedil in capsules is a sophisticated mockery of patients, which must be immediately modified and manufactured in the form of normal candles. Capsules are not inserted in any way - neither by themselves, nor with the use of ointment, nor by pushing their other candles, nor by attaching to a cut candle! What more imagination is needed to figure out how to insert them?
