About Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone/pramoxine)

Uses and Benefits of Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone/pramoxine)

Proctofoam HC (Hydrocortisone/Pramoxine) is indicated for the relief of inflammation and itching caused by certain skin conditions around the anus, including hemorrhoids. It treats corticosteroid-responsive skin problems such as rashes, irritation, and discomfort in the anal area. This medicine combines a corticosteroid to reduce swelling and an anesthetic to relieve pain and itching.

Ingredients in Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone/pramoxine)

The active ingredients in Proctofoam HC are pramoxine hydrochloride and hydrocortisone acetate. Pramoxine relieves pain and itching, while hydrocortisone reduces inflammation. Inactive ingredients include propylene glycol, cetyl alcohol, PEG-100 stearate, propylparaben, methylparaben, trolamine, water, isobutane, propane, and ethylene distearamide.

How to Use Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone/pramoxine)?

Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly.

Apply Proctofoam HC to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily. For anal use, use the applicator provided. For perianal use, apply a small amount to the tissue and rub gently.

Before each use, place the cap on the container and shake it for 5 to 10 seconds. Do not remove the cap while using the product.

Hold the container upright on a flat surface. Gently place the tip of the applicator onto the container cap. Pull the plunger past the fill line. To prime, hold the container and applicator at eye level. Press down on the cap flanges and release. A burst of air may appear first. Usually, 1 to 2 pumps are needed for the foam to show.

To fill the applicator, press down firmly for 1 to 2 seconds and release. Wait 5 to 10 seconds for the foam to expand. Repeat until foam reaches the fill line. It usually takes 3 to 4 pumps. Remove the applicator from the cap. Do not overfill, as foam may back up under the cap.

Hold the applicator firmly. Insert the tip gently into the anus. Push the plunger to release the foam, then remove the applicator. Do not insert any part of the aerosol container or push the applicator past the anus.

After use, pull apart the applicator parts and rinse with warm water. Also, clean under the cap to prevent foam buildup and blockage.

Safety Precautions for Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone/pramoxine)

Before you use Proctofoam HC, tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had problems with your adrenal glands, high blood sugar, or Cushing’s syndrome.

Tell your doctor if you use high-potency steroids, apply medication to large areas, use it for a long time, or cover the area with a dressing.

These conditions can increase the amount of medicine your body absorbs. Your doctor may test your adrenal function using urine or blood tests if you use large doses over large areas or under occlusion. If your adrenal function is affected, your doctor may stop or lower your dose or switch you to a milder steroid.

Inform your doctor if you feel symptoms of steroid withdrawal after stopping this medication. Symptoms may include tiredness, weakness, or body aches. In rare cases, systemic corticosteroids may be needed after stopping the topical treatment.

If skin irritation happens, stop using Proctofoam HC and tell your doctor. Your doctor may give you an antifungal or antibiotic if you have a skin condition. If your infection doesn’t improve quickly, you may need to stop using the steroid until the infection clears.

Only use Proctofoam HC for the condition it was prescribed. Do not use it near your eyes. Report any unusual side effects or symptoms to your doctor.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Let your doctor know if you are pregnant. Use this medicine in pregnancy only if the benefit outweighs the risk. Do not use large amounts or apply it for long periods while pregnant.

If you are breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using this medicine. It is not known if this medicine passes into breast milk when used on the skin.

Children may absorb more of the medicine through the skin. This makes them more likely to have serious side effects. These may include slow growth, weight loss, low cortisol levels, or symptoms like headaches and vision changes.

While applying to children, the smallest amount for the shortest time possible. Long-term use in children may affect growth and development.

Elderly patients may need smaller doses. Their liver, kidney, or heart may not work as well, and they may take other medicines. Your doctor will monitor you closely if you are older.
