Anucort-HC Suppositories

Hydrocortisone suppositories are prescription medications used to relieve inflammation, itching, and swelling in the rectal area caused by conditions like hemorrhoids, ulcerative proctitis, and other inflammatory bowel diseases. They work by delivering hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid—directly to the affected tissue, where it reduces immune activity and constricts blood vessels to ease discomfort and promote healing. These suppositories are inserted into the rectum and are designed for localized relief with less systemic absorption.
