Instructions for using candles Relief
The maximum daily Relief rate is four candles.
The suppository is introduced into the anus. The main thing is to do it right. If all the rules are followed, the discomfort will be minimal, and the benefits will be maximum.
The procedure should be carried out after cleansing the intestines. Before the introduction of the candle, the anal area is washed with heated water. Cotton napkins are used to remove excess fluid.
In the next step, the patient should take the correct posture. The patient is laid on his side, legs bent at the knees, pressed to the stomach. The muscles should be relaxed. Thus, the risk of damage to the mucous membranes lining the rectum is reduced. The suppository is carefully removed (it is advisable to do this with medical gloves) and inserted into the rectum. The candle does not need to be placed too deep (no more than 2-3 cm from the sphincter). After administration, the patient is recommended to remain in the same position for half an hour. During this time, the suppository will completely dissolve.
When undergoing therapy, the patient should:
- eat right;
- engage in therapeutic exercises;
- observe the daily routine.
Relief suppositories can quickly and effectively eliminate the symptoms of malaise. A positive result will manifest itself 3-4 days after the start of treatment.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
During pregnancy and while breastfeeding, Relief is not prescribed. This is due to the lack of data on the effect of suppositories from this category on the child's body. Only a specialist can prescribe an antihemorrhoidal drug. The decision is made, taking into account the likely benefits and the degree of danger. For example, Relif Ultra candles cannot be used during pregnancy. In their composition there is a steroid hormonal substance.
Drug interaction
Relief suppositories can not be used in parallel with drugs that are MAO inhibitors. The same can be said about medicines that have an antihypertensive effect. The patient's condition worsens with the use of these suppositories together with antidepressants. In this case, the cause of malaise will be a sharp increase in blood pressure.
To eliminate hemorrhoids and the discomfort that they cause, it is strictly forbidden to use several varieties of Relif rectal suppositories at once during one course. The one exception is the combination of Relief Advance and Relief Ultra. Their combination will not bring harm due to differences in useful properties. The first drug relieves pain and itching, and the second stops the inflammatory process.
The positive effect of Relief can be enhanced with the help of venotonics, among them Phlebodia 600, Detralex and Venarus are distinguished. These drugs have a powerful effect on the root cause of the disease, due to which venous insufficiency is eliminated, blood circulation improves, vascular tone increases.
