Proctofoam-HC® is mucoadhesive analgesic and anti-inflammatory foam prescribed by health professionals for the relief of anorectal inflammation and swelling associated with hemorrhoids, pruritus ani, anal fissures and other anorectal discomforts.

This unique metered-dose aerosol foam is particularly effective for the relief of postpartum hemorrhoids affecting as many as 3 out of 4 natural childbirthing women.

In addition to bringing fast and effective relief of pain, inflammation and itching, Proctofoam-HC® provides many advantages over suppositories or ointments:

  • It is gentle, clean to apply and highly sanitary: there is no need to touch the affected area
  • Due to its mucoadhesive properties, the foam spreads quickly to the inflamed area and stays in place without leaking
  • A small amount covers a large area.

At least 36 applications are contained in a single unit of Proctofoam-HC, making it the most economic treatment available. Its metered-dosing internal and external applicators are easy to fill, convenient to use and easy to keep clean.  A simple topical application provides immediate relief of pain, inflammation and itching, without the risk of caine-like sensitization and without staining clothing.
