Proctosedyl is the brand name for a family of two products with identical active ingredients designed to treat a variety of proctological disorders. One is a topical ointment, the other a rectal suppository. In the United Kingdom both products are contract manufactured by Patheon Limited on behalf of the Sanofi-Aventis group[1][2]. Manufacture and distribution is provided by Sanofi Aventis subsidiaries[3] Hoechst and Hoechst Marion Roussel in other territories worldwide.[4]

Application

Both the yellowish-white, translucent, greasy ointment[1] and the smooth, off-white suppositories[2] are formulated for the relief of chronic pruritus ani (otherwise known anal itching or anusitis)[1][2][5] and the treatment of pain, irritation, discharge and itching associated with haemorrhoids (otherwise known as piles)[1][2][5]. However both products are also used to provide pain relief in the treatment of anal fissure[6][7][8], for patients undergoing haemorrhoidectomy, (pre and post-operative)[8], in the relief of post-partum (otherwise known as post-natal) haemorrhoidal conditions,[9][8] and in the treatment of non-infective proctitis.[8]
