Has anyone used proctosedyl when pregnant?

GP prescribed it to me today for piles but after looking online I don’t know if I want to use it. It seems anusol is safer so would I be better off just using anusol?

Yep- prescribed by a doctor as I wept with gratitude! Was totally fine. Suspect it’s another case of not being able to officially approve it for use in pregnancy because they can’t run trials on pregnant women.

@Artesia thank you for your reply! Medicine and pregnancy is so scary!

It is, but as someone whose piles became thrombosed during pregnancy, I’d say use the cream!!!
