Dr. Li Jingxiang
Berberine hydrochloride tablets can be used to treat proctitis. This medication is a preparation extracted from the traditional Chinese herb Coptis chinensis and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It effectively inhibits and eliminates various pathogenic microorganisms and bacteria in the human body, such as hemolytic streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus, thus showing significant efficacy in treating bacterial-induced proctitis. It should be noted that berberine hydrochloride tablets are not suitable for all types of proctitis. Patients should choose an appropriate treatment plan based on the underlying cause of their proctitis and take the medication under medical supervision to avoid adverse reactions from self-medication.
