Candles from hemorrhoids Nigepan, what substances contain, how to apply

Hemorrhoids are a very common disease, not least because of the sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity in many people( however, this disease can be caused not only by the lack of physical exertion, but also by their excess).

At the initial stages of this pathological process, the patient's discomfort is minimal, but as the disease progresses, the symptomatology increases, and along with the increase in the severity of symptoms, the quality of life decreases.The most effective methods of treating hemorrhoids are surgical, however, operative treatment is usually not shown at the initial stages of the disease development, and also if the patient has contraindications to the operative elimination of the problem.

In such situations, resort to conservative treatment of hemorrhoids, which consists in the local use of anticoagulants, preventing thrombosis, as well as destroying the already formed thrombi, and local anesthetics that reduce pain.

Such tools can be used either individually or together, as a combined tool.One of these combined medicines is Nigepan - rectal suppositories, which include an anticoagulant and a local anesthetic.

Features of development and symptoms of hemo

Hemorrhoids are a pathological process characterized by the widening, as well as the tortuosity of the veins, which provide the outflow of blood from the rectum, the formation of nodes around it, the inflammation and thrombosis of these venous vessels.

The following factors can contribute to the onset of this disease:

• Excessive weight gain.
• Too low physical activity, sedentary work.
• An important risk factor for hemorrhoids is hereditary predisposition.However, not only a lack of motor activity provokes the development of the disease, work associated with excessive muscle tension, and also accompanied by an increase in intra-abdominal pressure also contributes to the development of the disease.
• Frequent constipation, as well as problems with the flow of blood through the veins, ensuring its outflow from the rectum.

The development of this disease, as a rule, is quite gradual.First, patients begin to worry about discomfort, and also itching in the anus, at the initial stage of hemorrhoids development, constipation is also quite typical.Such manifestations, as a rule, begin to disturb after the action of any provoking factor.

This can be the reception of dishes spiced with spices, alcohol, or less often - physical activity.As the pathological process develops, the symptoms gradually increase, pain is added, bleeding is possible.There may be a prolapse of hemorrhoids.

Initially, they spontaneously flow, immediately after the cessation of the factor causing their loss, later the patient has to return them on the spot with their hands, and in the case of the disease, the nodes stop returning to their place at all.

The course of this disease can be acute and chronic, while the intensity of pain will be significantly different.

Nigepan - composition and other features of the preparation

The composition of rectal suppositories Nigepan includes two main active substances - anticoagulant Heparin and local anesthetic Benzocaine.Anticoagulant not only prevents thrombus formation in the hemorrhoidal nodes, but also to a certain extent accelerates the processes of dissolution of already formed thrombi( primarily preventing further growth of the already formed clot).

In this case, the use of the drug in its local form allows to reduce to a certain extent the probability of adverse side effects, as well as to minimize the possibility of drug interaction in the case of simultaneous use of several drugs.

Benzocaine is an anesthetic of local action.This tool allows you to eliminate pain and other unpleasant sensations in the shortest possible time, both in the case of acute and chronic course of hemorrhoids.

Among other things, the combination of these drugs also has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, which makes this tool even more effective.In general, various combinations of anticoagulants and local anesthetics are very popular in the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Features of pharmacological activity of Heparin, one of the components of the preparation Nigepan

Heparin is one of the most famous and most frequently used direct anticoagulants.From a chemical point of view, this is a glycosaminoglycan.Once in the body, this drug binds to antithrombin three, which blocks thrombin, as well as the enzymatic activity of a number of clotting factors, plasmin and calicrein.

In addition, Heparin is able to bind to membranes, both the vascular endothelium and the cell membranes of the shaped elements.The presence of this substance on the cell membranes leads to a change in their electrical charge - Heparin increases the value of the negative electric charge, which prevents the flow of adhesion and aggregation of platelets, as well as other blood elements( red blood cells and leukocytes), which also prevents blood clotting.

However, this possible effects of Heparin on the body do not end there.This drug among other things has a certain anti-allergic effect, which is due to its ability to reduce the activity of certain components of the complement system, and also to bind substances such as histamine and serotonin.

Biological availability of Heparin is different for different routes of its introduction into the body.The fastest effect is achieved with intravenous administration, but in this case the duration of the action will be relatively short.Intramuscular administration, as well as administration to the subcutaneous tissue, gives a later onset of the effect with a longer duration.

At local use, the amount of the agent entering the systemic circulation is minimal, and all the necessary effects develop after application.

Features of local anesthetic Benzocaine, which is part of Nigepan

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic.The action of this drug is based on a decrease in the permeability of cell membranes for sodium ions, and also provides the expulsion of calcium from the receptors located on the inner surface of the cell membrane, which provides both an obstacle to the occurrence and blocks the transmission of painful impulses.

For benzocaine, local absorption is minimal.In case the drug is applied to the surface of the mucous membranes, its effect begins within a minute after application, and lasts for a relatively short time, about twenty minutes.

This drug is considered safe, but adequate studies that would confirm or refute the presence or absence of a carcinogenic, mutagenic effect or its effect on human reproductive functions have not been carried out.

Can be used not only locally, but also inside.So Benzocaine is used for gastralgia, esophagitis, as well as for the elimination of pain in duodenal ulcers and stomach ulcers.

However, much more often this drug is still prescribed for topical application, except for hemorrhoids. Benzocaine is prescribed:

• In dental practice as a means for superficial anesthesia.
• For anesthesia of perianal cracks.
• For diseases of the middle ear, as well as external auditory canal.
• Can be used for diagnostic manipulations such as gastroscopy to reduce discomfort.

Nigepan - indications and contraindications for the use of

Candles for hemorrhoids Nigepan, according to the instructions, is intended for the treatment of a single disease - hemorrhoids.This is facilitated not only by the selection of active ingredients in the composition of the drug, but also by the dosage form - rectal suppositories.

Thus, the remedy is used in case of treatment:

• Thrombosis of internal hemorrhoids.
• Thrombosis of external hemorrhoids.
• Thrombosis accompanied by inflammatory processes.

The drug is considered to be quite safe, because with this method of use, the absorption of active substances into the bloodstream is relatively small.However, even in this case there are certain contraindications, as well as situations when using a topical preparation should be done with caution.

Uniquely contraindicated use only if the patient's established hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug.

Precautions for use with gemorrhoid suppositories: Nigepan is used with:

• Pregnancy and lactation, as there are no relevant studies confirming the safety of the drug in such cases.
• Patients under the age of fourteen years, which is associated with a certain immaturity of the hematopoietic system.
• Caution is also needed when using other drugs, even though Nigepan is poorly absorbed by the rectal route of administration.

How to apply this medicine correctly?

The drug is produced in the dosage form of rectal suppositories, which allows to deliver the active substances directly to the focus of the pathological process, and also makes the use of this medication quite simple.

However, for a maximum of efficiency it is necessary to observe several relatively simple rules:

• You need to insert candles after the act of defecation, or you need to make an enema before use, as stool can interfere with the action of the drug.
• Use this medication at the same time, usually in the morning and in the evening.However, the attending physician may prescribe another scheme, with a greater or lesser frequency of application.
• After the actual administration of this dosage form, it is necessary to be in a horizontal position for some time, since the suppository dissolves relatively quickly, however, the active substances need a certain time in order to exert the necessary effect.
• Duration of use, as a rule, is not more than fourteen days, however, the attending physician may prescribe a course of treatment of a different duration.

Possible interaction of the components of Nigapan with other drugs

Despite the extremely low receipt of the components of the drug in the systemic circulation, a certain interaction is still possible.For example, with the simultaneous use of benzocaine with drugs from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors, the metabolic processes of the local anesthetic are slowed down.

Heparin can interact with many drugs.When combined with many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs( Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Indomethacin), as well as Dipiridamol, Warfarin and other similar drugs, the probability of bleeding increases.

This effect is somewhat weakened when combined with antihistamines, cardiac glycosides.

Therefore, in case the patient takes any other medicines, he needs to consult a doctor about the drug interaction, and if necessary, either change the drug, or choose the optimal dosage.

Conservative treatment of hemorrhoids in many cases is a good alternative to surgical intervention.Drugs like Nigepan are not only able to provide a certain anesthesia, but also work as a means of forming blood clots in the hemorrhoids, which allows you to avoid the need for surgery for a long time.

Hemorrhoids are quite an unpleasant disease, sometimes significantly reducing the quality of life of patients.Operative treatment has not been shown to all patients, so conservative treatment of the disease is not uncommon.One of the drugs for the treatment of hemorrhoids are the Nigepan hemorrhoids candles, the reviews of which confirm the high efficacy of the remedy.But we must not forget that the success of treatment often depends on the timely treatment begun.Therefore, if you suspect ailment, do not postpone the visit to the doctor.
