Product information
Uniroid-HC Ointment is a rectal ointment used for short-term relief of symptoms associated with haemorrhoids, also known as piles, where clinically appropriate. It contains hydrocortisone and cinchocaine hydrochloride.
How to use
Use Uniroid-HC Ointment exactly as directed by your pharmacist, prescriber or the patient information leaflet supplied with your medicine.
Wash your hands before and after use. Gently clean and dry the affected area before applying the ointment. Apply a small amount to the affected area as directed.
If the ointment is being used internally, use the applicator supplied with the medicine if instructed to do so. Attach the nozzle to the tube, insert it gently into the rectum and apply the ointment as directed. Wash the applicator thoroughly after use.
Do not use more often or for longer than advised. Using steroid-containing haemorrhoid treatments too frequently or for too long may increase the risk of local irritation, skin thinning or other side effects.
If symptoms do not improve, keep returning, become worse, or if bleeding continues, seek clinical advice. Rectal bleeding should not automatically be assumed to be haemorrhoids.
Do not share this medicine with anyone else, even if their symptoms appear similar.
Main Ingredients
Uniroid-HC Ointment contains two active ingredients:
Hydrocortisone 5 mg in 1 g of ointment.
Cinchocaine hydrochloride 5 mg in 1 g of ointment.
Other ingredients include cetostearyl alcohol and white soft paraffin.
Cetostearyl alcohol may cause local skin reactions, such as contact dermatitis, in some people.
Side Effects & Cautions
Some people may experience side effects while using Uniroid-HC Ointment. Possible side effects can include local irritation, burning, itching, rash, redness, sensitivity or discomfort around the application area.
Stop using Uniroid-HC and seek medical advice if you develop signs of an allergic reaction, worsening irritation, severe rash, swelling, breathing difficulty, or symptoms that feel serious or unusual for you.
Uniroid-HC is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used if you are allergic to hydrocortisone, cinchocaine hydrochloride, local anaesthetics or any of the other ingredients.
Extra clinical review may be needed if you have rectal bleeding, severe pain, a new lump, black stools, unexplained weight loss, a change in bowel habit, signs of infection, persistent symptoms, inflammatory bowel disease, recent rectal surgery, pregnancy or breastfeeding considerations, or if symptoms are unusual for you.
Seek medical advice promptly if you have heavy bleeding, persistent bleeding, black or tarry stools, severe rectal pain, fever, pus or discharge, unexplained weight loss, a change in bowel habit, or symptoms that do not improve with suitable treatment.
Uniroid-HC should be used with caution if you are using other steroid medicines, other rectal treatments, or medicines that may affect bleeding risk. Always list all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, supplements and herbal products during your consultation.
This medicine is intended for short-term use. Do not use it repeatedly or for long periods without further clinical advice.
