Why use Compound Medicine for Hemorrhoids?

The “rectal rocket” is a custom-made hemorrhoid suppository that differs from conventional suppositories in three ways:

Hemorrhoids, both internal and external, are treated simultaneously.
Without losing the suppository, the patient is able to pass gas.
The suppository does not get lost in the rectum but stays at the insertion point.

Rectal Rockets® Suppositories are a compounded rectal dosage form designed for targeted delivery and patient-specific dosing. At Welltopia Pharmacy, each prescription is carefully compounded to ensure precision, quality, and trusted care.

What are Hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are small veins that have become enlarged and swollen (called “varicose”) around the rectum and anus. The rectum is the final or lowest part of the large bowel and is surrounded by a circle of muscle that stretches and then tightens to force the solid waste products of digestion (feces or bowel movement) down and out through the anus, the small opening through which solid waste passes out of the body. Veins around the rectum and anus often swell and become inflamed, develop small blood clots, and cause minor bleeding. There are two major types of hemorrhoids – external and internal. Many people suffer from both.

External
External hemorrhoids develop under the skin, just outside the opening of the anus. They may cause pain and itch, especially during a bowel movement, and they are often tender to the touch. They are round, purple, and feel like “soft swellings.”
Internal
Internal hemorrhoids are found further up, inside the rectum. Often these hemorrhoids are not painful, and you may not know they are there until they start to bleed. Sometimes these internal hemorrhoids may be pushed out (prolapsed) through the anus. If that happens, they can become quite painful.
