What is Xyloproct?

Xyloproct is an effective prescription ointment for the treatment of uncomfortable and painful haemorrhoid symptoms. As a targeted topical medication it is able to get straight to work providing pain relief in as little as a few seconds after application. It contains two active ingredients that work together to anaesthetise pain and relieve the inflammation and irritation associated with haemorrhoids. It can be used to treat both internal and external haemorrhoids thank to the included nozzle for easy application and can reduce the duration of an attack.

You can buy Xyloproct online at euroClinix after filling in the short online consultation form. This enables the prescribing doctor to check that you do not have health problems or medication that could interact with Xyloproct. Once this has been agreed the medication will be discreetly packaged and delivered to your door the next day if you have placed the order before 4:30pm.

How does Xyloproct work?

Xyloproct contains two active ingredients, lidocaine and hydrocortisone that work to treat haemorrhoid symptoms in the following ways:

Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic and gets to work within seconds of being applied to alleviate the pain associated with haemorrhoids. It can also alleviate the itching which will stop you from scratching and risk irritating the area further.

The other ingredient in Xyloproct is hydrocortisone which is a topical steroid. It works by reducing swelling and irritation in and around the anus to stop the itching and discomfort.

How to take Xyloproct?

Before using Xyloproct you should ensure your hands and infected area are clean and dry. You should dab the affected area rather than rub it to avoid irritation. You should read the enclosed instructions before using Xyloproct for full instructions. Guidelines for using the medication are as follows:

  • Wash hands and affected area
  • Apply a small amount of ointment
  • Do not rub it in let it soak in naturally
  • Remove any excess ointment from any areas that are unaffected to avoid irritation
  • For internal treatment insert nozzle into anus
  • Squeeze the tube to release dose
  • Wash hands after using the ointment to avoid transferring infection or medication

You should only use Xyloproct for 7 days, if symptoms have not improved you should see your GP for further instruction.

Xyloproct dosage

You can buy Xyloproct online at euroClinix in a 20g tube including applicator for internal haemorrhoid treatment.

Side effects and precautions

Although as a topical medication serious side effects are unlikely you may experience a tingling/burning sensation when you first apply it. This shows that the medication is working and should not be troublesome. The feeling will disappear once the medication begins to work seconds later. If you use more than the recommended amount of Xyloproct or use it for longer than 7 days you could experience thinning of the skin. You are more likely to experience skin irritation if you apply the treatment to unaffected areas and do not wipe away excess medication.

You should not take Xyloproct if:

  • You are allergic to any of the ingredients
  • Are allergic to local anaesthetic
  • If you already have damaged or thin skin
  • Have a bacterial, parasitic, viral or fungal infection that is not being treated

How to buy Xyloproct safely online?

You can buy Xyloproct online at euroClinix after filling in a short online consultation form. This will allow the prescribing doctor to ensure you are not taking any medication or have any health problems that make it unsuitable for you. Once this has been agreed the medication will be packaged discreetly and delivered to your door the next day if you have placed the order before 4:30pm.

The tube of Xyloproct is likely to last longer than one bout of haemorrhoids so if there is a long space of time in between your next attack you should check the use by date first. If you need further medication you can use the fast repeat prescription service and still receive your medication the next day so that you can start treatment quickly.

Note: You must complete a short online consultation so that our doctor can ensure that the treatment is suitable for you. The above pricing should only be used as a reference. The final decision to issue this treatment lies with the prescribing doctor.
