Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Hemoal Forte.

This medicine should not be used if you have serious heart problems (complete heart block).

This medicine should be used with caution if you have diabetes, closed-angle glaucoma, Raynaud's phenomenon, pheochromocytoma, or prostatic hyperplasia.

Maintain normal intestinal function through a suitable diet (fruits, vegetables, adequate fluid intake, and regular exercise). It may be helpful to take a laxative, volume enhancer, or stool softener simultaneously. Excessive use of laxatives should be avoided, as it could cause intestinal laziness.

Use of Other Medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

This medicine may interact with:

  • Phenothiazines (antipsychotic) or MAOI antidepressants may cause an increase in blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, or even death.
  • Cardiac glycosides: the use of cardiac glycosides (such as digoxin) at the same time as ephedrine may increase the risk of irregular heartbeat or heart attack.
  • Antidepressants: tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline) and noradrenergic-serotonergic antidepressants may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects with ephedrine.
  • Sympathomimetic agents: the use of ephedrine with other sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of hypertension and other cardiovascular effects.
  • Beta-blocker antihypertensives: the use of this medicine at the same time as beta-blocker antihypertensives or other antihypertensives may reduce their effectiveness.
  • Sulfonamides (medicines for treating infections): they should not be used at the same time as benzocaine, as it may decrease the effect of sulfonamides.
  • Cholinesterase inhibitors (medicines for Alzheimer's disease): they should not be used at the same time as benzocaine, as it may increase the effect of benzocaine.
  • Alkaloids of ergot: risk of vasoconstriction and/or increased tension (hypertension) when used in combination with ephedrine.
  • Linezolid (antibiotic for the treatment of severe bacterial infections): risk of increased tension (hypertension) when used with ephedrine.
  • Adrenergic neuron blockers: ephedrine may reduce or cancel the antihypertensive effects of guanethidine.
  • Appetite suppressants and psychostimulants of the amphetamine type: risk of hypertension and increased heart rate with concomitant use of ephedrine and sibutramine.
  • Halogenated anesthetics: ephedrine should be used with caution if you are undergoing anesthesia with halogenated anesthetics, as it may induce cardiac arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation).
  • Other local anesthetics of the benzocaine type: there may be cross-reactivity between benzocaine and other local anesthetics of the ester type.
  • Theophylline (anti-asthmatic, bronchodilator): increased risk of adverse reactions after concomitant administration of theophylline and ephedrine.
  • Dexamethasone (glucocorticoid): ephedrine increases the elimination of dexamethasone.
  • Doxapram (respiratory stimulant): risk of hypertension when used in combination with ephedrine.
  • Oxytocin: risk of hypertension when used in combination with ephedrine.

Interactions with diagnostic tests:

Do not use Hemoal Forte 72 hours before performing the pancreas puncture test with bentiromide, as there is a possibility of interference with the test result.

3. How to Use Hemoal Forte

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medicine indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

This medicine is applied rectally.

Personal hygiene is essential to control hemorrhoidal symptoms. Therefore, the area should be kept clean, washing it, especially after each bowel movement, with a little mild soap and drying it without rubbing with a clean towel.

Apply a thin layer of ointment (approx. 1 cm) to the affected anal area, clean and dry, in the morning, at night, and after each bowel movement. Generally, 3 to 4 times a day.

Apply with a finger, using the tip of the finger to overcome the resistance of the sphincter.

To use it inside the anal canal, remove the protection from the cannula, screw it onto the tube, lubricate it with a little ointment, and carefully insert it into the anal canal. Then, apply a small amount of ointment, exerting gentle pressure on the tube. If you encounter resistance during application, it should be interrupted, as it may be harmful and damaging.

After application, unscrew the cannula from the tube and wash it before storing it.

Wash your hands before and after each application. For hygiene reasons and to avoid infections, the cannula should only be used by a single patient.

Treatment should not last more than 7 days. If anorectal symptoms (pain, itching, burning) do not improve within this time or bleeding appears, you should consult your doctor.

People Over 65 Years and Debilitated Patients: they should reduce the dose, see "Use in People Over 65 Years and Debilitated Patients".

If You Use More Hemoal Forte Than You Should:

If you have used more Hemoal Forte than you should, consult your doctor or pharmacist or the Toxicology Information Service. Phone (91) 562.04.20, indicating the medicine and the amount applied.

The symptoms that may appear due to overdose are anxiety, nervousness, palpitations, headache, and insomnia.

If You Forget to Use Hemoal Forte:

If you have any other questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
