Composition and mechanism of action
Nigepan - a combined preparation containing two active components of benzocaine and heparin, is available in the form of suppositorieswhite or slightly yellowish:
- Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks painful impulses along afferent pathways. It is his presence in the composition that explains the analgesic effect of using candles.
- Heparin is a direct anticoagulant, it prevents thrombogenesis, reduces aggregation of platelets, prevents their adhesion. Heparin acts on the deposition factor, which is in the blood plasma. By suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase, the anticoagulant activates the fibrinolytic properties of the blood. When hemorrhoids heparin prevents the formation of blood clots, especially if the patient has already experienced such symptoms during illness. That's why the drug is often prescribed for the purpose of prevention. Heparin strengthens the walls of the vessels of the rectum, reduces the risk of thrombosis. As a result, the exacerbation of the disease is observed less often.
Thanks to its composition, Nigepan:
- pain relief;
- eliminates the inflammatory process in the rectum;
- inhibits the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
Pharmacokinetics of the drug
Once in the body, heparin under the influence of liver enzymes undergoes a biological transformation. Its half-life is only 90 minutes.

Expert review
The opinion of the practitioner will reveal some nuances of using Nigepan candles from hemorrhoids.
This is one of the few drugs that can be prescribed for hemorrhoids to prevent thrombosis. Candles are small, so they are convenient to use even with large hemorrhoids. Most patients tolerate the drug well, only some patients may be allergic to the constituent components of the drug.
For the first time, treatment days may increase the symptoms of hemorrhoids, which does not require the abolition of therapy. After 2-3 days, when the inflammatory process starts to subside, discomfort after the introduction of candles will not appear.
If not, then you need to stop injecting suppositories and come to see a doctor for another drug.

Opinion of patients
Many patients use Nigepan suppositories for the treatment of hemorrhoids, some of them are reviewed below.
I have been suffering from hemorrhoids for a long time. From time to time the disease worsens. The last time the proctologist ordered candles for Nigepan. The drug is average in price. Anesthetic effect from candles comes quickly.
Cones began to subside almost instantly, painful sensations were already on the second day of treatment. After 5 passed all the symptoms of the disease, but I still inserted the candles for another 5 days to fix the result.
Ivan, Kazan
For more than one year, she had suffered from hemorrhoids. I went to an appointment with a proctologist with many years of experience, he wrote me suppositories Nigepan. Candles really liked, they not only quickly anesthetize, but also relieve all signs of illness.
Suppositories are small in size, do not feel in the rectum, dissolve quickly, instantly relieve pain syndrome.
Improvements have already felt on the second day of treatment with the drug.
Hemorrhoids passed, and the third year does not bother. I am very grateful to the doctor who appointed me this medicine.
Lena, Moscow
I've been working as a trucker for 25 years, so I earned myself a disease at the "fifth" point. You will not wish such an enemy. The pain is such that it is impossible to sit, walk, sleep at night. I went to the hospital, the doctor prescribed candles for Nigepan.
I put the first candle on the night, almost immediately released the pain, and I slept quietly until the morning and never woke up. Already on the third day I was able to sit normally, but before that I just lay on my side. And on the fifth day, I already went on a business trip.
The drug helped very quickly, the course required 2 packs. All treatment cost 310 rubles. I think that this is not so expensive, as many drugs from hemorrhoids are much more expensive. And this medicine proved to be very effective and at an affordable price.
