How Long Does It Take For Hydrocortisone Rectal Cream To Work?
Question: How long does it take for hydrocortisone rectal cream to work?
Brief Answer:
Use it for a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
You can feel some relief immediately after using the hydrocortisone cream.
You may need to use it for a week in order to have results.
If you still don't feel better after a week you may need to consult a proctologist if you may continue it for longer or you can use something else.
Hope I have answered the question.
