Ichthyol Rectal Suppositories 0.2 g – 10 pcs | Anti-Inflammatory Relief

Ichthyol Rectal Suppositories 0.2 g – 10 pcs are a medicated topical treatment designed to provide localized relief in a range of anorectal and proctological conditions. Each suppository contains ichthyol sulfonate, a concentrated sulfonated shale oil derivative known for its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic effects at the site of application. These properties make it an effective option for managing symptoms such as pain, burning, itching, swelling and irritation that accompany hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctitis and other inflammatory conditions of the lower rectum.

How Ichthyol Works

Ichthyol works primarily through local anti-inflammatory and antiseptic actions. When applied directly into the rectum, the sulfonated ichthyol compound:

• Reduces inflammation by calming cellular inflammatory mediators in the mucosa.

• Eases pain and burning via mild analgesic effects.

• Limits microbial proliferation through antiseptic activity, helping maintain a clean local environment.

• Improves microcirculation in the anorectal area, which can support tissue recovery.

This combination of effects makes ichthyol a valuable symptomatic treatment to improve comfort and support healing in proctological disorders, without significant systemic absorption when used as directed.

Indications – When to Use

Ichthyol Rectal Suppositories are commonly used in cases such as:

• Internal and external hemorrhoids accompanied by pain, itching and swelling.

• Anal fissures and erosions causing discomfort and burning during bowel movements.

• Proctitis or rectal mucosa irritation of inflammatory origin.

• Perianal swelling and itching associated with localized inflammation.

• Post-procedural anorectal discomfort, such as after hemorrhoidectomy or endoscopic procedures, under medical supervision.

These suppositories provide direct localized action, which often results in faster relief of symptomatic discomfort compared with systemic medications.

How to Use Ichthyol Rectal Suppositories

For safe and effective use:

1. Cleanse the anorectal area gently and pat dry before insertion.

2. Remove one suppository from its protective wrapper.

3. Lie on your side with knees slightly bent or assume a comfortable position.

4. Gently insert the suppository into the rectum — ideally after bowel movement or before bedtime.

5. Use once or twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

6. Continue the course of treatment for several days until symptoms improve, unless otherwise instructed.

Always follow professional dosage recommendations, especially in cases with chronic conditions or severe symptoms.
