Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "This drug Proctofoam is a literal miracle for hemorrhoids! It shrunk a very big, very angry, very painful thrombosced external hemorrhoid. Took it down within a few days. When other over-the-counter and prescription meds did nothing. I’ve now had the offending pile removed (which I would not recommend, so much pain). In the future, I will treat with Proctofoam, no question the most effective medication for this embarrassing and painful issue."

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "I am having my second pregnancy literally just months after having our first. (We will have Irish twins). I had hemorrhoids terrible during my first pregnancy during the third trimester but decided to tough it out. They subsided but came back with vengeance during this second pregnancy. I went a week trying everything: witch hazel, Prep H cream, sitz baths, walks, fiber, even taking Tylenol to help with the pain. Nothing helped. I finally called my doctor (I have a 10-month-old I have to be able to function!) and she prescribed me this. Within a day, the swelling had gone down, and within 10 minutes of application, the pain almost went completely away! I will never try to tough it out again. It is expensive, but worth it being 7 months pregnant and being pain-free."

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "This is a great product. I have run the whole course of home cures, doctor visits, constant pain in the A** all this year. My latest doctor prescribed ProctoFoam, and the first use was a Godsend. Relief was instant. Burning, itch, and pain faded away. Slept so good."

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "After a week of suffering constant pain, itching, and burning, I finally made a doctor appointment, and he prescribed this. Went from constant pain to practically pain-free within about 10 minutes! I can't say enough good about this product. I just wish I had gone to the doctor earlier in the week!"

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "I wish I could share a positive review for Proctofoam HC. I had a painful, swollen, exterior, burning hemorrhoid flare-up 9 days ago. Had Proctofoam HC prescribed 7 days ago. I also had Proctozone-HC cream prescribed and use them together for what it’s worth. Had to order it and have been using it for 6 days. It seems to help a little bit with the pain. I still have constant pain, but not as bad. I found taking 800 mg of ibuprofen along with 1000 mg of Tylenol stops the pain for at least 4 hours and sometimes all day. The swelling has gone down by half, but the hemorrhoid hasn’t gone back in, which is uncomfortable. I can push it in, but it comes back out. I’m curious about what my condition would be by now without the foam (which I paid $170.00 for), just using the cream ($35.00) and ibuprofen and Tylenol."

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "I have had a bad case of hemorrhoids for 6 months now and have tried everything OTC, even a few trips to the ER! I finally was referred to a general surgeon who said while yes, I have some hemorrhoids, I also have an anal fissure. He prescribed Proctofoam and so far, so good! No pain, no bleeding! My insurance did not cover this, and I had to pay $135, but it has been worth it! When I go back to the doctor in 10 days, I will update my review and rating!"

Pramoxine topical for Hemorrhoids "It didn’t help as much as I hoped. It was disappointing after so many positive reviews. The hemorrhoids have shrunk slightly but seem to still be getting flared up, and I’m still in quite a bit of pain."

For Hemorrhoids "I'm back to say I wish stuff came with an XR formulation, or 2X the potency. The half-life is 9 hours. (Science) It only helps for 3-5... After that, I need more. I'm still in pain constantly. The only day in the past year I have not... was when I went to the hospital for a scope... I said, 'Give me the Fentanyl and Midazolam.' I can't stand up. I don't want to feel the biopsy, which they said wouldn't hurt... But it did for days. Something is wrong. I am waiting for another specialist."
