Product introduction

Use Entofoam Rectal foam exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose is one applicator-full inserted into the rectum once or twice daily for 2–3 weeks, followed by a reduced frequency depending on your response. Your doctor may adjust the dose and duration according to your condition. Continue treatment for as long as your doctor recommends, even if you start feeling better.


There is limited data on the common side effects of Entofoam Rectal foam. However, it may cause burning, itching, irritation, and dryness at the site of application in some people. These are usually mild. If any of them persist or worsen, consult your doctor.


Do not use Entofoam Rectal foam if you have a known history of allergic reactions to hydrocortisone acetate or any of its ingredients. It should also not be used in certain conditions affecting the rectum or bowel. To ensure safety, inform your doctor about all your medical conditions before using this medicine. Let your doctor also know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also inform your doctor about all other medicines you use, as some may interact with this medicine.

Uses of Entofoam Rectal foam

Benefits of Entofoam Rectal foam

Treatment of Ulcerative colitis
Entofoam Rectal foam helps treat inflammation in the lower part of the rectum in people with ulcerative colitis. This helps relieve symptoms associated with inflammation, such as diarrhoea and pain. When used regularly as prescribed, it can help control inflammation and improve symptoms of ulcerative proctitis.

How to use Entofoam Rectal foam

Wash your hands with soap and water before and after use. Use the foam applicator to put the medicine into your rectum. Never use the container directly. Connect the applicator to the cap of the aerosol container and shake it for 5 to 10 seconds just before use. After using, wash the applicator with warm, soapy water and store the medicine at room temperature.

How Entofoam Rectal foam works

Entofoam Rectal foam is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the affected part of the rectum. It reduces the activity of substances and cells that cause inflammation, helping to decrease swelling and irritation associated with ulcerative colitis.

Quick tips

  • Use Entofoam Rectal foam exactly as prescribed and try to use it at the same time each day for best results.
  • Empty your bowels before the morning dose, as passing stools soon after application may reduce the efficacy.
  • Clean the applicator thoroughly after every use with warm water and allow it to dry before the next application.
  • Do not stop treatment suddenly after prolonged use; speak with your doctor, as the dose may need to be reduced gradually.
  • Tell your doctor if symptoms worsen or do not improve, particularly if there is no improvement within 2–3 weeks of treatment.
