In order to inject the cream into the rectum, twist the applicator tube provided and push it into the rectum. Then, while gently pressing the tube, squeeze a small amount of cream into the rectum.

The simultaneous use of lidocaine with antiarrhythmic drugs may prolong the QT interval and, in very rare cases, the development of AV-blockade or ventricular fibrillation.

Avoid getting Relief Pro inside or contact with the eyes. After applying the cream it is recommended to wash hands thoroughly.

Contraindications

Viral diseases (e.g., chicken pox, reaction to vaccination, shingles) in the area of application;

Treatment of children and adolescents;

The first trimester of pregnancy;

hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

Side effects

With prolonged treatment with both Relief Pro cream and suppositories (more than four weeks) there is a risk of local skin changes such as atrophy, striae or telangiectasia.

Burning: 1-10%, rarely – irritation and allergic reactions.

Pregnancy use

A number of epidemiological studies suggest a possible increased risk of wolfsbane in infants whose mothers received oral glucocorticosteroids in the first trimester of pregnancy. Insufficient data have been accumulated on the use of topical glucocorticosteroids during pregnancy, but in this case the likelihood of adverse effects is very low due to the minimal bioavailability of glucocorticosteroids when used topically.

Relief Pro cream and suppositories should be prescribed with caution in pregnant women. When prescribing to pregnant and lactating women, the expected benefits of treatment to the mother must be weighed against the possible risks to the fetus and the baby.

If a doctor prescribes the drug during pregnancy and lactation, it should be used for a short period of time.
