How to insert Methyluracil suppositories?
In gynecology, if a doctor has prescribed suppositories with methyluracil for vaginal administration, then their use should be stopped during menstrual bleeding. After the end of the discharge, you can continue the course of treatment. However, it is better to start treatment immediately after the critical days have ended. Then you won’t have to take a break if your period suddenly starts.
This exclusion of the use of vaginal suppositories during menstruation is due to the fact that they will dissolve faster in secretions and, accordingly, will be eliminated from the body before their therapeutic effect on the body begins. After the procedure for cauterizing the erosion, the gynecologist may prescribe suppositories with methyluracil. Methyluracil suppositories for erosion can have a local wound-healing, regenerating effect.
Methyluracil suppositories have analogues: Kolertek, metacil, meturacol, stizamet.
It should be remembered that during the period of treatment with methyluracil suppositories it is necessary to completely exclude sexual relations. Methyluracil suppositories are effectively used to treat inflammatory processes in the body of any etiology, including the treatment of diseases of the female organs. However, suppositories with methyluracil have the greatest therapeutic effect as part of complex therapy, whereas when used separately, the therapeutic effect can be quite weak.
Methyluracil - the “forgotten” medicine
In this article I will talk about a unique medicine that is successfully used to treat many diseases. But at the same time, for some reason, many modern doctors “forgot” him.
This medicine is called Methyluracil .
Methyluracil was synthesized in the Soviet Union more than 70 years ago by a group of scientists led by prof. N.V. Lazareva.
This drug is unique! Methyluracil - improves immunity, accelerates healing processes, including in the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and increases the body's defenses.
Here is an incomplete list of diseases for which methyluracil can help: hemorrhoids, pancreatitis, anemia, reduced immunity, fractures, radiation, stomach and duodenal ulcers.
Methyluracil is available in different forms - in suppositories, tablets, and ointment.
HOW TO USE METHYLURACIL in TABLETS or SUPPLIES:
Methyluracil - TABLETS Cost in Russia at the beginning of 2019 on average about 150 rubles.
Indications for use:
- for the treatment of pancreatitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers;
- from anemia;
- to improve immunity;
- with a decrease in the number of leukocytes or platelets in the blood;
- after chemotherapy;
- from radiation sickness, after radiation exposure, including after radiation therapy in the treatment of oncology;
- for recovery after severe infections;
- for fractures - for faster healing of broken bones.
Methyluracil tablets can be used not only to treat adults, but also to treat children over 3 years of age.
The “fly in the ointment” is that it takes a long time to take methyluracil tablets, usually the course of treatment is 30–40 days, although this does not cause any problems - it is convenient to take the drug: you drink it during meals or immediately after meals.
Methyluracil tablets of 500 mg are taken in the following doses:
Adults - 1 tablet 4 times a day, during or after meals , children from 3 to 8 years old - half a tablet (that is, 250 mg) 3 times a day, children over 8 years old - half a tablet or 1 tablet 3 times a day.
Side effects: For many modern medications, the list of contraindications and possible side effects sometimes takes up an entire page. But when taking methyluracil, side effects are rare. Occasionally, an allergy to this drug occurs; it most often goes away quickly when it is discontinued. Sometimes you experience nausea or heartburn, dizziness or headache, usually when you start taking this drug. Moreover, for many, such headaches or dizziness go away on their own after 2-3 days of use. That is, you don’t even need to stop taking pills often.
Contraindications for use: Hypersensitivity to methyluracil or allergy to it; leukemia (leukemic forms, especially myeloid), lymphogranulomatosis, hemoblastosis, malignant diseases of the bone marrow; children's age - up to 3 years.
Methyluracil - CANDLES (rectal suppositories):
They are quite inexpensive in Russia, at the beginning of 2021 - about 30–50 rubles.
Methyluracil - CANDLES help:
- in the treatment of hemorrhoids and hemorrhoids;
- for the treatment of proctitis, anal fissures, fissures in the rectum;
- after surgery to remove hemorrhoids, suppositories with methyluracil can also be useful for faster healing. But in this case, suppositories can be used no earlier than 2-3 weeks after the operation (the timing should be clarified with the surgeon who operated on you).
For all these diseases, suppositories with Methyluracil are placed in the rectum: 1 suppository 2-3 times a day (maximum 4 times a day), and they help very quickly - many patients note improvement in the first 2-3 days.
The course of treatment averages from 5 to 14 days.
Although the course declared by the manufacturer is longer - up to 1 month, it is usually not necessary to use candles for longer than 2 weeks, since lasting improvement, as a rule, occurs faster.
The effectiveness is high - suppositories help more than 90% of patients! - except when they are used incorrectly! For example, they are inserted not into the rectum, but into the vagina (according to the advice of some sites).
Contraindications to suppositories: Allergy or hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, children under 8 years of age.
Use during pregnancy and during breastfeeding: No special studies have been conducted regarding the safety of using the drug Methyluracil in pregnant women and during breastfeeding. The drug is used during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or child.
Side effects: Rarely - Allergic reactions.
Storage conditions: at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C.
INTRODUCTION of suppositories with METHYLURACIL into the VAGINA: questions and answers.
A lot of questions arise about the use of methyluracil in suppositories inserted into the vagina. On the one hand, manufacturers write that suppositories must be administered strictly into the rectum.
But some gynecologists prescribe these suppositories vaginally - inserted into the vagina. And the results often seem to be quite good.
We have nothing against such treatment. We are talking about only one thing - we found almost no bad reviews when administering methyluracil suppositories strictly “at the address” - that is, when inserting into the rectum.
But with vaginal administration, adverse reactions were much more common - although in this case there were still much more positive results than negative cases.
So it’s up to you to decide whether to use these candles for other purposes or not.
Ointments with Methyluracil help:
- in the treatment of trophic ulcers, - sluggish-healing wounds, - with photodermatitis and sometimes even with eczema. The ointment should be used strictly according to the instructions in the package.

Methyluracil in gynecology
Methyluracil suppositories are used in gynecology for the therapeutic treatment of colpitis, vulvoginitis, and vaginal dysbiosis. They are prescribed for erosive damage to the uterine cervix before and after laser coagulation. Dioxomethyltetrahydropyridimine has proven itself in the elimination of tissue damage that appears during labor and surgical amputation of the reproductive organ.
During critical days, the medication should be taken rectally, unless the treatment provides for a break. The released blood fluid will remove the medicine earlier than expected. During therapy, complete sexual rest is required. For girls who are not sexually active, methyluracil suppositories are prescribed only rectally. The therapeutic course lasts from 8 to 16 days.
The treatment time and daily dose of medication are determined individually by the gynecologist.
Suppositories containing methyluracil are allowed during pregnancy and lactation. The drug is not absorbed into the blood and breast milk and does not have a pathological effect on the embryo. Rectal suppositories with methyluracil combine well with other drugs. Clinical trials did not reveal drug antagonism.
It is recommended to prescribe suppositories simultaneously with antibacterial and steroid therapy. You should not use dioxomethyltetrahydropyridimine while taking corticosteroids, in order to avoid reducing the renewing, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing properties of the suppository.
