Special Precautions
Where there is bleeding in the anal area or where faecal blood is suspected as well as in the onset of other unusual symptoms, a medical examination with a view to diagnosis is advised.
If symptoms appear for the first time, self-medication should not last longer than 7 days.
Repeated treatments should only take place following diagnosis confirmed by a doctor.
Procto-Glyvenol should be used with caution in patients with severely impaired liver function.

Procto-Glyvenol cream contains cetyl alcohol, which may lead to local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis). The cream also contains methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoate; these substances may trigger allergic reactions (possibly delayed).
Side Effects
See prescribing information for full details.
Drug interactions
No interaction studies have been performed.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Pregnancy: There is not enough data concerning the use in pregnant women.
No animal experiments exist on tribenoside or tribenoside in combination with lidocaine. Also, it is not known whether tribenoside crosses the placental barrier. Lidocaine shows some toxic effect on the embryo. Given these conditions, Procto-Glyvenol should not be used during pregnancy, particularly during the first three months, except when absolutely necessary.
Lactation: Lidocaine can enter maternal milk; the advantages for the mother will have to be weighed against the risks for the child. As a precaution a choice has to be made between ending treatment and ending breastfeeding.
Overdose
No cases of overdosing have been reported.
In the event of accidental oral ingestion, gastric lavage is recommended, together with symptomatic treatment as well as general supportive measures.
