It is advisable to administer Ultraproct N after defaecation. The anal region should be cleaned thoroughly prior to use. The total duration of treatment should not exceed 2 weeks.
Paediatric population: Ultraproct N is not recommended for use in children under 18 years due to a lack of data on safety and efficacy.
Cream: Rectal cream should be applied twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening (approximately up to 1 g cream per application). In the initial days of use, it can be applied three times daily. With improvement of symptoms, a single daily application is often sufficient.
A finger-tip unit of rectal cream is applied to the anal region with a finger, using the finger-tip to overcome the resistance of the sphincter. A finger-tip unit is the amount of rectal cream expressed from the tube and applied from the distal skin-crease to the tip of the index finger of an adult.
If the cream is to be applied intra-rectally, the applicator provided has to be screwed onto the tube and the tip inserted into the anus. A small quantity of cream can then be applied by exerting slight pressure on the tube.
Suppository: One suppository should be inserted deep into the anus twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. With improvement of symptoms, it is in many cases sufficient to insert one suppository per day or every second day.
