What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Vaginal Ingestion Of Hydrocortisone?
Question: I was given hydrocortisone acetate suppositories for hemorrhoids. I think I accidentally put it in my vagina instead of my rectum. Will it still work? Will it cause me to have some kind of reaction or side effect?
Brief Answer:
It wont cause any problems.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It wont work for hemorrhoids. Lets say you have "send it to wrong address". But luckily it wont cause any harm to your vagina either.
So the best you can do is to place another suppository to your anus.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
