Scheriproct Suppositories
Scheriproct is a prescription treatment for haemorrhoids. It contains an anti-inflammatory and a local anaesthetic.
The anti-inflammatory acts upon the swollen piles themselves, shrinking them over time.
The local anaesthetic numbs the affected area, bringing quick relief from pain and irritation.
You can get Scheriproct in two formulations: an ointment or suppositories.
Scheriproct ointment can be used for external or internal piles, using the provided applicator nozzle.
Scheriproct suppositories are intended exclusively for internal haemorrhoids.

What are haemorrhoids?
Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are lumps that appear in and around the anus. While they can clear up on their own within a few days, there are various medicines available to treat them, such as Scheriproct.
Symptoms of piles include:
- Bright red blood after passing stools
- Itching around the anus
- Feeling like you still need to after passing stools
- Mucus in your underwear or on toilet paper after wiping your back passage
- Lumps around the anus
- Pain around the anus

What causes haemorrhoids?
Piles develop when varicose veins dilate, creating blood-filled swellings in and around the back passage. They usually occur just inside the anal passage but can protrude or distend downwards.
Haemorrhoids can develop at any age. However, there are several factors that may increase your risk of piles, such as:
- Pregnancy
- Frequent or chronic constipation
- Lifting heavy objects
- Sitting for a long time
- Age
- Having a family history of haemorrhoids
You should discuss your haemorrhoids with your doctor to determine a possible cause.
Your doctor will be able to offer practical advice on reducing your risk of developing piles in the future.
