[|Human|] I have used proctosedyl ointment for many years non stop. I am now very frightened because I have discovered that I should not have done this despite my doctor supplying it. I don t know what to do now as I am afraid I have damaged myself irreparably and that I will not be able to get off the ointment because of the effects.
[|AI|]  Hi, Based on the history you have shared, it has steroids that's why the long term isn't recommended.  Though if you had used it with significant cure and no apparent side effects related to it, hopefully, there will not be any in the future, if you have stopped it already.  If the problem for which it was prescribed is still persistent a surgical review and local examination is recommended to see if any other alternative is required or not.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
