Description of the dosage form, composition of suppositories
A rectal preparation in the form of elongated grayish suppositories is produced. In a box with a candle, 5 pieces are packaged in two white plastic packaging. Manufacturer Natalsida - Russian pharmaceutical company Nizhpharm.
One candle for hemorrhoids consists of several components:
- Sodium alginate (the main substance), which includes hyaluronic and alginic acids. The first contributes to the speedy healing of cracks and wounds. The second one has the fastest analgesic and protective effect on the hemorrhoidal nodes and intestinal mucosa, reducing the frequency of urge to defecate.
- Solid fats supposir and vitepsol involved in the distribution of the main substance in the rectum.
The main component of suppositories relates to high molecular weight polysaccharides, and is extracted from red, blue and brown seaweed (kelp).
Candles are dispensed without a prescription. Store them at a temperature of 10-15 degrees in a closed form. The shelf life of the drug is 3 years from the date of release indicated on the package. The cost varies from 250 to 600 rubles.
Therapeutic effects, pharmacokinetics
Suppositories with sodium alginate have reparative (hemostatic), anti-inflammatory, healing and analgesic effects.
If you specify the properties of Natalside, they will be as follows:
- increases the number of red blood cells;
- stops bleeding;
- reduces inflammation;
- eliminates pain in the sphincter;
- reduces ESR and white blood cell count;
- heals damaged areas of the mucosa.
More succinctly Natalside is a drug used for topical treatment of symptoms of pathology of the anus and articulation of the sphincter with the rectum.
Laminaria in the composition of the drug affects the production of type A immunoglobulins, which are an integral part of local mucosal immunity. With the help of these substances, the anal sphincter and large intestine resist the negative effects of pathogenic microflora.
Indications for use
Natalside is prescribed for patients with inflammation of the hemorrhoids, as well as for the prevention of the following diseases in the anus:
- fistulas;
- postoperative inflammation;
- proctosigmoiditis - inflammation of the mucosa;
- colitis;
- cracks and microcracks in the anus;
- consequences of intestinal pathologies (salmonellosis, enterocolitis, hemocolitis);
- chronic hemorrhoids;
- bleeding due to intestinal infections.
Using suppositories without prior consultation with a specialist is not recommended.
Instructions for use for children and adults
According to the instructions, suppositories should be used only rectally, that is, introducing into the anus. Arrange these manipulations after emptying the bowel and thorough hygiene of the perianal region.
Having taken the candle out of the package, the patient should moisten it with a small amount of warm water and enter it into the anus, while lying on its side. It is important to remember that hands should be washed with soap before carrying out the procedure. After the candle passed into the anal sphincter, you need to stay in the same position for about an hour. So it will be possible to achieve the greatest effect from the drug used. During this time, the hemostatic and anesthetic actions of Natalside will be noticeable.
Dosages and schedule of administration of suppositories are prescribed by the doctor. But on average, it is recommended to use 1 candle twice a day. The course of treatment should not exceed two weeks, and a second can be carried out only a month after the end of the previous therapy.
For children with bowel and perianal diseases, Natalside can also be used in the treatment of suppositories. The only difference from the rules set forth in the instructions for use for adult patients is the dosage.
The procedure itself is carried out similarly:
- The hands and the anus are washed with water using baby soap.
- Moisture from the treated area is best not to get wet, as it will greatly facilitate the introduction of suppositories.
- Put the child to one side.
- Gently and as deeply as possible enter the required dose of the drug into the anus.
Children from 1 to 5 years old can use 1 candle once a day, from 5 to 18 years old - similarly, but twice a day.
The duration of treatment with rectal suppositories is determined by the doctor. Usually it is 7-14 days. And to eliminate the pain syndrome there are quite 4 days of therapy.
Suppositories for hemorrhoids Natalside with bleeding
Natalside suppositories are often used to relieve a symptom such as bleeding. The drug will be appropriate for a delicate problem resulting from intestinal infections, colitis, hemorrhoids or proctosigmoiditis. The effect of the introduced suppository will be noticeable after 30-60 minutes after application. It is recommended to carry out this manipulation periodically, not forgetting the advice of a specialist.
If after applying the suppository the bleeding does not stop for an hour, then you should call an ambulance. This factor can be a symptom of a serious illness that requires immediate treatment.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
Since suppositories are based on natural components, their use is allowed during pregnancy and lactation. Natalside does not affect the quality and composition of milk during breastfeeding, and also does not adversely affect the growth and development of the fetus. The dosage of the drug does not differ from the usual, and the course of treatment with this tool can last from 1 to 2 weeks. Doctors do not recommend pregnant and lactating women to independently exceed the dose of medication administered without consulting a specialist.
Side effects and contraindications
Natalside candles have a small list of contraindications.
These include:
- children under the age of 14 years (without special clinical indications);
- individual intolerance or immunity of the components of this tool;
- sharing with other rectal drugs.
Subject to the dosages prescribed by the doctor, the medicine, as a rule, does not cause a negative reaction in the patient.
In rare cases, the following side effects may occur:
- itchy skin;
- peeling;
- red spots and rash;
- paraproctitis (purulent inflammation of the rectum).
Cases of drug overdose have not yet been identified. They are impossible due to the local action of the substance and its natural composition.
Alcohol consumption during treatment with Natalside is inappropriate. This can only aggravate the situation and provoke a number of unpleasant consequences (itching, rashes, nervousness, burning, allergies and insomnia).
Compatibility with other drugs
Natalside is prescribed to prevent rectal pathologies and conduct complex treatment. Until now, there have been no cases of negative manifestations from the use of suppositories when interacting with other drugs. An exception may be only medicines of a similar orientation.
But even the fact that it interacts well with other drugs should not be the reason for using suppositories without a doctor’s prescription.
