Overview

Ultraproct is a combination medication used to relieve symptoms of hemorrhoids and other inflammatory conditions of the anus and rectum, such as itching, swelling, and pain. It contains two corticosteroids (fluocortolone pivalate and fluocortolone caproate) that reduce inflammation, and a local anesthetic (cinchocaine hydrochloride) that numbs the area to relieve pain and itching. This medicine is available as a rectal ointment or suppository and is applied directly to the affected area. Ultraproct is typically used for short-term relief and should not be used for extended periods without medical supervision. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions closely and report any worsening symptoms.
