Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Hydrocortisone Suppositories Cause Orange Discharge With Stool?
I was just put on Hydrocortisone Acetate Suppositories for a small fissure by my GI doctor 2 days ago. I have been taking it twice a day since like I was told. Since then, there has been no blood and pain has stopped but my most recent bowl movement had orange color liquid and the stool was slightly orange tint. Is this from suppositories? I read nothing about it on side effects, except that it can cause anal skin discoloration. My doctor is out till Columbus day weekend is over or else I would call.
