Prednisolone Rectal Foam 20mg Dose -Formerly Predfoam, Pack of 14

Prednisolone Rectal Foam 20mg Dose is a prescription corticosteroid treatment used to reduce inflammation in the lower bowel. Formerly known as Predfoam, this rectal steroid foam is commonly prescribed for ulcerative colitis, proctitis and inflammation affecting the rectum and sigmoid colon.

The foam is applied directly into the rectum, allowing the medicine to act locally at the site of inflammation. This targeted delivery helps reduce bowel symptoms such as bleeding, urgency, diarrhoea, discomfort and inflammation associated with active ulcerative colitis flare-ups.
