Lido 3%/Hc 0.5% Rectal Cream - Anyone used it for hemorrhoids?
Has anyone tried Lido 3%/Hc 0.5% Rectal Cream for hemorrhoids? I've been dealing with painful discomfort and my doctor prescribed this. What are your experiences and what can I expect for improvement in terms of pain and swelling? Any side effects I should be prepared for?
I've used a similar cream before but never for hemorrhoids. I remember it working fast but make sure you're very careful when using it on sensitive areas. You gotta be sure you're not allergic to any of the ingredients first too.
Did you try any other treatments before this one?
I wish I had something like this when I had my hemorrhoid flare-up last year. I had to deal with a lot of discomfort and pain for a while before getting it checked out. I didn't know there was a cream that could help with the pain and swelling! Is it safe for long-term use?
Just make sure you use it as directed. I read the leaflet and it said to apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day and I didn't feel better but I didn't have any reactions either. I just stopped using it after a week and that was that. Ask your doctor about the dosage and usage.
I used it, but it gave me a rash so I had to stop. I'm not a fan of steroids so this isn't exactly my favorite medication. Plus, it’s expensive. My doctor was telling me, though, that it's effective for a lot of people.
