Hemorrhoids give people a lot of trouble. Nowadays, such a disease is considered one of the most common. The reason for this lies in a sedentary lifestyle, because most people today have a sedentary job.
And also during pregnancy, they can also get hemorrhoids. However, not all drugs are suitable for treatment, so the question of choosing a safe and effective drug becomes acute.
In the treatment of hemorrhoids, first of all, an integrated approach is important. This means that you need to start eating right and exercising. Of course, competent drug therapy should also be present.
Specialists often prescribe a drug such as Posterisan to their patients with anorectal nodes. Practice shows that the remedy effectively copes with the disease, while not having a negative effect on the body.
But before you buy and start using Posterizan hemorrhoid ointment or suppositories, the instructions for use should be carefully read.
Posterisan and Posterisan Forte
On sale today there are two varieties of the drug, these are Posterisan and Posterisan Forte.
Arriving at the pharmacy, patients begin to worry about what kind of remedy should be chosen, which is better? To solve this problem, you should know what are the differences between these two drugs.
The main difference lies in the component composition, however, both drugs are used to treat the same diseases.
A pharmaceutical product marked Forte differs from the classic drug in a higher concentration of the active ingredient. And also it additionally includes an ingredient such as hydrocortisone. The rest of the medicines are identical.
Pharmacological features
- This is a pharmaceutical preparation intended for the local treatment of diseases of the anorectal zone. The drug is considered immunomodulatory. Its use allows you to strengthen the immune system of the body as a whole, and direct all your strength to fight hemorrhoids and other ailments.
The drug helps to accelerate cell regeneration, relieve inflammation, burning, itching, as well as eliminate swelling and pain.
The use of Posterisan for hemorrhoids with blood does not provide for additional anti-hemorrhoid treatment, since the drug does not have an antibacterial effect. However, if nodular formations have just begun to develop, then it will be enough to use only this medication.
After drug therapy is started, active stimulation of phagocytosis begins, due to which the patient recovers quickly.
In addition, the drug has a tonic effect on the venous system of the anorectal region. The walls of blood vessels and muscles become stronger.
It should be noted that if the doctor prescribed Posterizan regular, but this drug was not available at the pharmacy, then you can make a replacement with an analogue marked Forte. But it is impossible to replace suppositories or ointment Posterizan Forte, when they are prescribed by a doctor, with a conventional drug.

You can treat with suppositories. They are packed 10 pieces per pack.

As for Posterisan Forte, the situation is different here. It is impossible to apply it to women in position, as well as to nursing mothers. This is due to the presence of hydrocortisone in the composition. It adversely affects the development of the child in the womb, and the composition of breast milk.
With HB, if the mother is shown exactly the drug marked Forte, the baby during treatment should be transferred to artificial feeding.

Candles and ointment Posterizan Forte are classified as drugs that are intended only for topical use in the development of hemorrhoidal disease and diseases of the anorectal region, including the postoperative period.
The specific therapeutic effect of Posterizan Forte provides a quick and effective elimination of the symptoms of hemorrhoids and other diseases of the perianal region, which is associated with a local effect on the foci of the disease. The combined use of both forms of the drug is allowed to enhance the effect of treatment. The ointment is used anorectally, suppositories - only rectally.

pharmachologic effect
- Anti-inflammatory. The main active ingredient of Posterizan Forte is cell wall antigens and E. coli metabolites. They come into contact with the skin in the genital area and anus and with the rectal mucosa. As a result of this effect, the resistance of tissues to pathogenic microflora increases. Thus, Posterisan Forte ointment and suppositories not only increase resistance, but also reduce the level of inflammatory processes and the risk of infection.
- Forming specific immunity. The active component of suppositories and ointments in the form of a suspension of a bacterial culture contains the so-called inactivated bacteria along with their metabolites, which contributes to the localized synthesis of antibodies. The presence of high concentrations of cell wall liposaccharides increases the resistance of even relatively antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
- Immunostimulating. Posterizan Forte has the ability to stimulate the T-lymphocyte immunological link, which, in turn, leads to an increase in the level of activity of the phagocytic type of reticuloendothelial cells and leukocytes at the site of hemorrhoidal disease. The drug also enhances the activity of non-specific immunological factors, the ointment enhances and accelerates the process of regeneration of damaged tissues of the rectal mucosa and anorectal region.
Indications for use
The main indication for the use of posterizan is the presence of:
- cracks of varying severity in the anal area;
- eczema and chronic dermatitis of the perianal zone;
- genital and anal itching;
- burning sensations in hemorrhoidal disease in the anorectal zone;
- anopapillitis;
- bleeding from the anus;
- manifestations of allergic reactions in the perianal region.
Moreover, Posterizan Forte is recognized as an excellent means of healing wound surfaces in the anorectal zone after various surgical interventions.
Rectal suppositories are prescribed more often for symptoms of hemorrhoids, while the ointment can also be used to treat symptoms of other diseases.
Dosage and duration of treatment
Posterizan Forte ointment should be applied in a relatively thin layer to the area of damaged tissue, for example, to the rectal mucosa, twice or thrice a day. As a rule, in the morning after waking up and in the evening just before bedtime. In the presence of more serious and advanced cracks and damage to the mucosa, it is advisable to apply it after each bowel movement, after rinsing the place of application with warm water and soap.
Suppositories Posterizan Forte, according to the instructions, it is also desirable to enter twice or thrice a day, in the morning and evening and in the middle of the day at regular intervals, into the previously cleaned rectum. Perhaps the combined use of suppositories and ointments, if hemorrhoidal disease has external and internal symptoms. With a serious degree of hemorrhoids, suppositories can be administered after each bowel movement to relieve the condition.

Reviews of doctors and patients about the treatment of hemorrhoids
Does the drug Posterizan really help to cure hemorrhoids, will help determine the reviews of doctors and their patients:
Kurakin A.A., proctologist:“According to my observations, Posterisan is the best remedy for ailments of the anorectal region. Many of my patients complain about the high cost of both suppositories and ointments. However, the quality of the drug is fully justified by the inflated price. In addition, it practically does not cause adverse reactions, it can be used in the treatment of pregnant and lactating women.
Barbashinov N.A., proctologist:“A good drug, effective both in the early stages and in chronic forms of hemorrhoids. It can also be used after surgical interventions due to hemorrhoidal disease and anal fissures, as it allows you to speed up the healing and recovery process.
Anastasia, 35 years old, Chelyabinsk:“Posterisan was used as directed by a doctor. He prescribed me both suppositories and ointment. After three or four days, I noticed changes - I was able to go to the toilet normally and the linen was clean. I informed the doctor about this, he said that you need to continue using Posterizan to consolidate the effect and prevent relapse. Just cut the dosage in half. I am very satisfied with the product, although it is quite expensive. I didn't notice any side effects while using it.
Anton, 42 years old, St. Petersburg:“For the treatment of hemorrhoids, Posterizan ointment was used. Very high quality tool, really helped, unlike other drugs that I used before. One course of therapy was enough for me to completely get rid of my delicate problem.
Kristina, 26 years old, Vladivostok:“At the 35th week of pregnancy, I faced the problem of hemorrhoids. She delayed the treatment, as she was afraid to use medicines. As a result, the pain became so strong that I cried. I ran to my gynecologist, he prescribed Relief for me. Expensive, but it doesn't work!
Complained to a friend, and she advised me Posterizan. I was so tormented that I decided not to pull anymore and began to use candles, and then ointment. I was very surprised when I felt relief after the first application. A week later, I completely forgot about hemorrhoids! There were no side effects, Posterisan did not affect my pregnancy in any way.
Posterizan is an effective immunostimulating drug used in the treatment of diseases of the anorectal region. The action of Posterisan is clinically proven, the remedy is highly trusted by doctors. Despite the high safety of the drug, it is recommended to use it only after consulting a specialist, especially when used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
One of the curses sent by God to man is hemorrhoids. And every day he expands his possessions. Themselves, without realizing it, people with their way of life strongly contribute to the formation of venous stasis and the development of hemorrhoids. But not everything is so sad in this world. The development of medicine and pharmacology has made it possible to achieve significant results in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Today, the leading role in the fight against this unpleasant pathology is given to conservative methods, and not, as it was not so long ago. A complex effect on the body at the same time with systemic drugs and local agents makes it possible to drown out the pathological process at the very beginning of its development.
An important role among topical preparations is played by suppositories and Posterisan ointment for hemorrhoids. This is a unique combined preparation, the active ingredient of which is the cell membranes of inactivated bacteria and their secretions.
With hemorrhoids, the venous plexuses are affected, which are located in excess in the thickness of the mucous membrane covering the outlet section of the rectum and the entire perianal region. The depleted walls of the vessels are not able to withstand the pressure of the blood flow and push it further. Blood stasis is formed, which begins to stretch the venous bed, forming pathological sacs (nodes) with thin, easily injured walls.
Damage to their membrane causes immediate bleeding, and the wound surface becomes an open gate for various infectious agents. Infected tissues quickly become inflamed, aggravating the course of the disease. The danger is that if the inflammation spreads further to the subcutaneous tissue, immediate surgical intervention is required so that the infection does not become threatening.
Some of the important tasks of conservative treatment are:
- preventing the development of infection;
- removal of inflammation;
- restoration of the structure of vascular tissues.
These problems can be quickly and effectively solved only by local action on the affected areas. Of all the variety of drugs with directed action, today the candles and ointment from hemorrhoids Posterisan are rightfully considered the most effective.
Penetrating into the mucous membrane, Posterizan brings with it a saving flora, antigens produced by various strains of Escherichia coli, which contribute to an increase in local tissue resistance to pathogenic microbes.
They are able to force the immune system to produce protective antibodies localized, that is, only in the area where the source of infection is located. Mostly stimulated. T - lymphocytic part of the immune system to the additional production of phagocytes - immunity cells that can actively absorb pathogenic microflora and the remains of already dead microparticles.
The action of the drug has a positive effect on the condition of the blood vessels. The tone of smooth muscles and the permeability of the walls increase, which helps to reduce congestion, reduce swelling and hyperemia (redness), as well as remove such unpleasant symptoms as itching and burning.
And most importantly - Posterisan has a pronounced analgesic effect, which is invaluable for patients, as it quickly relieves them of torment and allows them to live a full life.
Due to the fact that Posterizan has regenerating, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, anti-allergic and antipruritic properties, it can be successfully used as an independent remedy for the treatment of the initial stages of hemorrhoids during periods of exacerbation. In addition, both suppositories and Posterisan ointment are effective for such diseases as:
