FAQ

SULGAN N is a topical treatment for hemorrhoids.

Haemorrhoids are varicose veins in the lower rectum and can occur both inside and outside the anus. The condition usually manifests itself through itching, burning, pain and, in severe cases, bright red superficial blood in the stool during bowel movements. This can sometimes lead to tears in the anal mucosa (anal fissures), inflammation and eczema in the anal area, increasing the risk of infection.

Treatment with SULGAN N helps stop itching and pain, reduces inflammation and alleviates the discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.

SULGAN N preparations are used for internal and external haemorrhoids:

SULGAN N ointment: External and internal haemorrhoids, anal eczema, superficial tears of the anal skin (anal fissures), mild inflammation and itching in the area around the anus.

SULGAN N suppositories: Internal haemorrhoids, superficial anal fissures. On the advice of a doctor or pharmacist, the suppositories can also be used to treat mild inflammation and itching in the lower rectum.

SULGAN N medical wipes: For anal hygiene in cases of haemorrhoids, anal eczema, anal fissures, as well as mild inflammation and itching in the anal area.

SULGAN N ointment: Apply 1 to 2 cm of ointment to the affected areas two to three times a day. For internal haemorrhoids, screw the enclosed cannula onto the tube. Insert the cannula into the anus as far as it will go and then slowly withdraw it while gently squeezing the tube.

SULGAN N suppositories: In the evening, carefully insert 1 suppository into the anus. Bedridden patients can insert a suppository two to three times a day.

SULGAN N medical wipes: Cleanse the anal area carefully and thoroughly as needed.

If symptoms have not improved or significantly diminished after 1-2 weeks of treatment, or if they worsen (e.g., bleeding from the anus), you should consult a doctor. The doctor will decide on further treatment.

Repeat treatments should only be administered after a doctor's diagnosis and should not exceed 2 weeks at a time.
