Why can't you use "Preparation H Suppositories" if you have high blood!
Question:
Why can't you use "Preparation H Suppositories" if you have high blood pressure?
On the back of the "Preparation H Hemorrhoidal Suppositories" box, it says to ask a doctor before use if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, diabetes, or difficulty in urination due to enlargement of the prostate gland. It also says to ask a doctor if you are taking a prescription drug for high blood pressure or depression.
WHY can't you use this if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid disease, or if you're taking a prescription drug for depression? The curiosity is driving me crazy.
(Also, does anyone know how long you have to wait after using this before you can use a laxative suppository?)
Thanks in advance! =)
Answers:
The medical data sheet ( for prescribing doctors ) lists allergy to the ingredients as the only contraindication. It also lists no known side effects! So I can see no explanation for the comments on any patient insert. It is made up of yeast extract and shark liver oil, a fascinating but harmless set of ingredients. I would suggest you avoid laxatives as suppositories while suffering from piles and use a mild oral aperient such as lactulose.
