Proctofoam HC
Generic Name: hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical (HYE droe KOR ti sone and pra MOX een)

What is Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical)?
Pramoxine is an anesthetic. It works by interfering with pain signals sent from the nerves to the brain.
Hydrocortisone is a steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.
The combination of hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical is used to treat pain, itching, or inflammation of the skin caused by a number of conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and minor burns or scrapes. This medication is also used on the rectal area to treat itching and inflammation caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or other rectal irritation.
Hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about Proctofoam HC (hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical)?

Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.
Do not use this medication on a child without a doctor's advice. Children are more sensitive to the effects of topical hydrocortisone. Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers. Covering the skin that is treated with hydrocortisone topical can increase the amount of the drug your skin absorbs, which may lead to unwanted side effects. Follow your doctor's instructions. Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse after using this medication for several days.
Do not use hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical for any condition that has not been checked by a doctor.

Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes or mouth, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.
Do not cover treated skin areas with a bandage or other covering unless your doctor has told you to. If you are treating the diaper area of a baby, do not use plastic pants or tight-fitting diapers.

Use only a small amount of medicine when applying hydrocortisone and pramoxine around the outside of the rectum. You may first place the medicine onto a clean tissue and then wipe it gently onto your rectum.
When using this medication inside the rectum, insert only the applicator tip of the medicine tube or foam can into the anus, no deeper than 1 inch.

Contact your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse after using this medication for several days, or if your condition clears up and then comes back. Do not stop using hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
An overdose of hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms. However, long-term use of high steroid doses can lead to symptoms such as thinning skin, easy bruising, changes in the shape or location of body fat (especially in your face, neck, back, and waist), increased acne or facial hair, menstrual problems, impotence, or loss of interest in sex.

Avoid applying other skin medications on the same treatment area with hydrocortisone and pramoxine topical, unless your doctor has told you to.
Using a steroid can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to get sick from being around others who are ill. Call your doctor for preventive treatment if you are exposed to chicken pox or measles. These conditions can be serious or even fatal in people who are using steroid medicines.
