Proctofoam HC contains two active ingredients: hydrocortisone and pramoxine. It is a prescription medication used to relieve pain, itching, swelling, burning, and inflammation associated with hemorrhoids and irritation in the rectal area.
Hemorrhoids are swollen or enlarged veins that develop in or around the anus and lower rectum. They may occur inside the rectum or around the opening of the anus.
Common symptoms can include:
Proctofoam HC helps reduce these symptoms by combining an anti-inflammatory medication with a local anesthetic.
Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the affected area.
Inflammation can cause swelling, redness, itching, and irritation. Hydrocortisone works by reducing the activity of certain substances in the body that trigger the inflammatory response.
This can help:
Hydrocortisone mainly treats the inflammatory part of hemorrhoid symptoms.
Pramoxine is a local anesthetic that helps temporarily reduce pain and itching.
It works by decreasing the ability of nearby nerves to send pain and irritation signals to the brain.
This can provide temporary relief from:
Pramoxine works locally in the treated area and does not treat the underlying cause of hemorrhoids.
Hydrocortisone and pramoxine work in different ways to provide broader symptom relief.
Hydrocortisone helps control inflammation, swelling, and itching, while pramoxine helps reduce pain, burning, and irritation.
Together, these effects can make hemorrhoid symptoms more manageable and improve comfort during daily activities and bowel movements.
Proctofoam HC is mainly used for short-term relief of symptoms. It does not permanently remove hemorrhoids or correct the underlying factors that caused them.
Treatment may be more effective when combined with other measures that help reduce irritation and straining, such as:
Hemorrhoid symptoms can sometimes resemble other rectal or gastrointestinal conditions. Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms are severe, do not improve, or keep returning.
Medical evaluation is also important if you develop:
Your healthcare provider can determine whether Proctofoam HC is appropriate and whether another condition may need to be ruled out.
Proctofoam HC is a rectal foam used to relieve pain, itching, swelling, burning, and irritation in the anal or rectal area. It contains hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pramoxine to help numb discomfort.
It is usually used 2 to 3 times a day, or exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Use only the amount prescribed and do not apply it more often than recommended.
Before each application:
If possible, use the medication after a bowel movement so it can remain in place longer. Follow any specific instructions provided with your prescription.
If your healthcare provider has instructed you to use the foam inside the rectum:
Do not force the applicator into the rectum. Stop and contact your healthcare provider if insertion causes significant pain, bleeding, or resistance.
For symptoms around the outside of the anus, your healthcare provider may recommend applying a small amount of foam directly to the affected area or to a clean pad.
Apply only a thin layer unless you have been instructed otherwise. Avoid rubbing the area aggressively because this may increase irritation.
Use Proctofoam HC only in the anal or rectal area as directed.
Avoid getting the medication in your:
If the medication accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them gently with clean water.
Do not use more foam than prescribed. Applying extra medication will not make symptoms improve faster and may increase the chance of side effects.
Proctofoam HC is commonly used 2 or 3 times daily, but your exact schedule may be different.
Try to use it at approximately the same times each day. This can help provide more consistent symptom relief.
Do not continue treatment longer than recommended without speaking with your healthcare provider, especially because Proctofoam HC contains a corticosteroid.
If you miss a dose, apply Proctofoam HC when you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not:
If you are unsure what to do after missing a dose, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Keeping the applicator clean can help reduce contamination and irritation.
After each use:
Do not share the applicator or medication with another person.
Proctofoam HC is usually intended for short-term treatment.
Because hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid, prolonged or excessive use may increase the risk of side effects, including thinning or irritation of the treated skin or tissue.
Use it only for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider.
Continue using Proctofoam HC for the prescribed treatment period unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise.
Do not automatically continue treatment for longer just because some symptoms remain. If symptoms do not improve as expected, your healthcare provider may need to reassess the cause.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
Seek urgent medical attention if you develop:
These symptoms may require prompt medical evaluation.
Proctofoam HC (Hydrocortisone/Pramoxine) is available in the following forms and strength:
Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have ever had an allergic reaction to hydrocortisone, pramoxine, or any other medication before using Proctofoam HC.
Stop using the medication and seek medical attention if you develop symptoms such as:
Proctofoam HC contains a corticosteroid, which can sometimes mask the signs of an infection or make certain infections harder to detect.
Tell your healthcare provider if you think you may have a bacterial, fungal, or other infection in the treated area. Signs may include increased redness, warmth, swelling, drainage, worsening pain, or fever.
Hydrocortisone can cause side effects if it is used for too long or in larger amounts than recommended.
Possible effects of prolonged use may include:
Use Proctofoam HC only for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using Proctofoam HC.
Your healthcare provider can help determine whether the potential benefits of treatment outweigh any possible risks during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Before using Proctofoam HC, tell your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, especially:
This information can help your healthcare provider decide whether Proctofoam HC is appropriate for you.
Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about all the products you use, including:
Some medications may interact with corticosteroids or increase the risk of side effects.
The safety and effectiveness of Proctofoam HC in children and adolescents have not been well established.
Do not use this medication in a child unless it has been specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Proctofoam HC may begin relieving pain, itching, and irritation within a short period, but it can take several days to notice the full benefit. Use the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If your symptoms do not improve after a few days, become worse, or keep returning, contact your healthcare provider for further advice.
Talk with your healthcare provider before using Proctofoam HC if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider can help determine whether the benefits of treatment outweigh any possible risks and whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
Store Proctofoam HC at room temperature and keep it away from excessive heat, direct light, and moisture. Because it is supplied in a pressurized container, do not expose it to high temperatures or puncture the canister. Keep the medication securely stored and out of reach of children and pets.
Proctofoam HC is mainly used to relieve symptoms associated with hemorrhoids and other inflammatory conditions of the anal or rectal area. A healthcare provider may prescribe it for another condition when appropriate. Do not use Proctofoam HC for a different condition unless your healthcare provider has recommended it.
Proctofoam HC is commonly used 2 to 3 times a day, but the exact frequency depends on your condition and your healthcare provider’s instructions. Use the medication only as directed. Do not apply larger amounts, use it more often, or continue treatment longer than prescribed, because prolonged use may increase the risk of corticosteroid-related side effects.
