The most effective hemorrhoid ointment

Hemorrhoids are not only a disease of sedentary people at home, professional drivers, office workers, etc., suffer from this disease. All those whose lifestyle or work habits are associated with a long time spent in a sitting position. The disease in the initial stages causes discomfort, with time, severe pains appear. If it is not treated in a timely manner, then in neglected conditions, surgical treatment will be required, after which the comfort of life is significantly reduced. And one more problem - in 15–20% of cases, advanced hemorrhoids can stimulate malignant formations, further treatment will be long and difficult. In the initial stages, hemorrhoids can be completely eliminated without any complications, but for this you need to choose the right treatment regimen and use effective ointments. First, let's briefly compare domestic and imported drugs.

Why domestic ointments cannot replace imported ones

In our country, there are numerous import substitution programs, they also affected the pharmaceutical industry. But according to the majority of domestic doctors, such a step will have an extremely negative impact on the health of Russians. Why?

1. At best, to achieve a positive effect in the treatment of hemorrhoids, domestic ointments will have to be taken much longer.. The disease gives a lot of unpleasant sensations, the longer they persist, the lower the patient's quality of life.
   

   Cons of domestic hemorrhoid ointments

2. Approximately 90% of domestic drugs are generics, especially the sad situation with new innovative drugs. Domestic pharmacology is at such a low level of development that it cannot even theoretically compete on equal terms with Western manufacturers. The majority of domestic pharmaceutical companies buy substances for the production of ointments in China and India from the "common pot" and pack them under their own names. The profit from such production reaches 1000%, no one pays attention to the effectiveness of treatment.
3. High-quality ointments can significantly reduce the dose of drugs and the time of treatment, due to this, the risks of complications are minimized. Some domestic ointments require a hundredfold increase in dose compared to imported ones.
4. All Western drug manufacturers work according to the GMP standard, the process is strictly controlled at each technological stage. Less than 10% of domestic enterprises meet this standard.

Many of our fellow citizens still do not understand that the most precious thing a person has is his health. Only the younger generation treats health with due attention, is treated in a timely manner and using high-quality ointments. Unfortunately, doctors will be forced to recommend not an effective medicine for the treatment of hemorrhoids, but domestic counterparts.
