Suffering From Internal Hemorrhoids. Was Prescribed Faktu. Can I Use It Long Term?
Question: I am suffering from XXXXXXX haemorrhoids. I was prescribed Faktu, about a month ago and I have been greatly benefited by it. The bleeding has completely stopped. Is there any harm in using the ointment, long term?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query
Faktu has a locally acting steroid in it
If you are relieved of symptoms there is no idea continuing it
Use it as and when required
Instead to prevent recurrent symptoms avoid constipation and take lot of fiber in your det
Take plenty of fluids and exercise at least five days a week
Hope this helps
Am available for followup query
