Elocom is not indicated for the treatment of anal varicose veins.

Elocom ointment is indicated for topical use for the relief of inflammatory and pruritus symptoms in dermatoses such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. This medicinal product is recommended for the treatment of dry, scaly and cracked lesions. Do not use it on damaged skin.

There are many preparations available on the market in the form of ointments, gels, suppositories for hemorrhoids. They contain soothing and moisturizing substances that promote the healing of irritations and help rebuild the mucous membrane. To relieve itching and burning, preparations with lidocaine with an anesthetic effect are usually used. In addition, some of them also have anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties.

Please remember that this is a preparation obtained with a doctor's prescription and it is the doctor who decides whether to include it in the therapy. It is not advisable to decide on your own whether to use it in a different disease than before, despite similar symptoms.

This carries the risk of side effects resulting from the long-term use of an ointment containing a steroid.

It is true that sometimes, on the recommendation of a doctor, antibiotics and steroids for hemorrhoids are also included in the therapy. However, this is done, as mentioned with the approval of the doctor, after the use of other medicinal products.

If the problem of hemorrhoids is bothersome for you, I recommend consulting a doctor who will refer you to a specialist.
