Faktu & Montelukast?

Question

I was recently prescribed Faktu ointment to control my anal itching. My question is, how should I apply this? It came with a tube (which I am pressuming should be inserted into the anal cavity) which I initially did not use due to my hesitation in having anything inserted into my butt. So... i opted to use it as a cream but when the itching did not stop, I took the risk of finally using the tube applicator however, the itching still did not stop. Am I appying it the right way?

In relation to my first question, I've had this anal itching for about a month already and have gone through a fecal test which came out negative. Could this itching be a side effect of my long term use of Montelukast (I was prescribed this tablet to control my asthma)? I've been taking Montelukast for about 6-7 months already.

Heelllpppppp!!!!!!! :(

FAKTU comes in two forms - ointment and suppository. The ointment as its name implies will be applied just like any other ointment - using an applicator tube. While the suppository form is to be inserted in the rectum - it is usually supplied with a rectal applicator to facilitate insertion.

Faktu has combined effects to arrest rectal bleeding, guard against infection, relieve pain irritation and inflammation and promote wound healing in any case of hemorrhoids.

Though itching is one of the possible side effects of Montelukast (in fact it is a serious side effect), I doubt if it will cause just a local anal itching. But we can give a possibility on that as well.

Try doing sitz bath - place tolerable warm water in a basin and sit for about 15-20 minutes or longer as desired, see if it helps somehow.

If itching persists, be sure it is not some kind of yeast or fungal infection. Try to discuss it with your doctor - you may need some topical cream containing hydrocortisone or the like to relieve your itching. Most importantly, what causes the itching needs to be identified.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/Tkb8V
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.
