Colifoam is a rectal foam medication primarily used for the treatment of inflammatory conditions affecting the rectum, such as proctitis and ulcerative colitis. The active ingredient in Colifoam is hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, swelling, and irritation in the affected area. This medication is designed for rectal use only and is administered using an applicator that delivers a measured dose of foam directly into the rectum. Colifoam is often prescribed when other treatments have not been effective, providing targeted relief from symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and discomfort. As with any medication, it is important to use Colifoam under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure its safe and effective use.
