About Corect Suppositories

Corect Suppositories belongs to the group of medicines called anorectal preparations used to treat anal fissures, haemorrhoids (piles), and anal pruritus. Corect Suppositories is also used in pre and post-operative treatment in anorectal examinations and proctologic surgery. Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. An anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus, which causes pain and bleeding during or after a bowel movement.
 
Corect Suppositories is a combination of four drugs, namely: Allantoin (skin protectant), Hydrocortisone (steroid), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), and Zinc oxide (antiseptic).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Piles: Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum and anus that cause discomfort, pain, and bleeding. Haemorrhoids can be external or internal. Internal haemorrhoids develop within the rectum and anus, whereas external haemorrhoids develop outside of the anus region. Piles cause pain, itching and bleeding. They also cause trouble in sitting. Haemorrhoids are not life-threatening; they often go away on their own. Symptoms include itching, irritation, and pain around the anus, swelling near the anus region, painful bowel movements, and blood in stools.

Anal fissure: Anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus. This causes pain and bleeding during or after a bowel movement. Anal fissures generally heal on their own. If the condition lasts for more than 8 weeks, it can be considered chronic. Sometimes surgery may also be needed depending on the condition. Symptoms include tear of skin around the anus region, burning sensation, pain, and blood during a bowel movement.
