Ingredients
Natalside is a rectal suppository with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostatic and regenerative effect. The active substance is sodium alginate, extracted from seaweed.
It eliminates all signs of the disease and relieves inflammation.

The active substance of the candles participates in the synthesis of antibodies, which increase the local immunity of the rectal mucosa and it becomes resistant to the influence of pathogenic microflora. In addition to the analgesic and haemostatic effect, the drug has an anti-inflammatory effect. With daily use of suppositories after 7 days, inflammation decreases, and after 14 days all the symptoms of the disease go away.

Opinion of patients and doctors
Having studied the opinions of patients and doctors who use Natalside suppositories in their practice, it is possible to reveal additional subtleties and nuances of using the drug.
Hemorrhoids appeared on my 8th month of pregnancy. Constantly bothered by an itch in the anus, hemorrhoids got out, each evacuation of the intestine was accompanied by the release of scarlet blood, it became painful to sit and walk.
I was very afraid to take any medication because of the risk of harming the baby, but the doctor calmed me down, saying that the drug Natalsid is completely natural and it does not have a negative effect on the fetus.
I inserted it in the morning and in the evening for 14 days. I felt relief immediately. On the third day the hemorrhoidal nodes began to decrease in size.
However, because of the threat of miscarriage, I did not make cleansing enemas, but on the second day my stool was normalized, and the need for them disappeared by itself. Although before the treatment began to suffer constipation all the time.
After the birth of the son, the hemorrhoids recovered again, but I again turned to a proven and reliable remedy, since this drug is allowed during lactation.
Rosalia, 30 years old
Unfortunately, quite often pregnancy is accompanied by the appearance of hemorrhoids. This is due to the constant impact of the enlarged uterus on the rectum and stagnant processes in the pelvic area.
Candles Natalsid are a drug of choice in pregnant and lactating women.
Insert them twice a day for 1-2 weeks. The drug has hemostatic, wound healing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
But, despite its natural composition, a non-prescription vacation, the minimum number of contraindications and side effects, Natalsid's self-treatment with candles is not permissible.
