In order for the treatment to be effective, you need to choose the right medication. If only cracks in the anus are concerned, it is recommended to choose Relief ointment. In the event that when sitting there are painful sensations, burning and itching, then Relif Pro cream is suitable, which will eliminate pain and reduce inflammation.
When diagnosed with hemorrhoids, both drugs are well suited. But due to the fact that the first of them has a large number of varieties with an additional content of active components, the doctor will be able to choose the most suitable treatment form for each patient individually. If the disease is accompanied by severe inflammation and itching, then it is recommended to use Relief Ultra, and with severe pain in the anus, Relief Advance is more suitable.
Pregnant and lactating women should use Natalside because of its greater safety. The same medication should be chosen for those who have granulocytopenia and thromboembolism, since the first remedy is contraindicated for use in these diseases.
Children 12-14 years old can use only the first medication, since the second is allowed for use only from 14 years old.
The price of both drugs is about the same – about 350-600 rubles, depending on the region, the form of release and the amount of the drug in the package.
In case of any unpleasant sensations in the anus, it is necessary to consult a doctor to begin treatment of the disease in the first stages. If hemorrhoids are started, then it will have to be eliminated only with the help of surgical intervention.
