What are suppositories for the treatment of anal abscesses?
Rectal suppositories with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving active ingredients are an effective treatment method to support tissue healing after anal abscess surgeries. Suppositories are also considered a proven therapeutic approach for relieving certain symptoms of anal abscesses. Rectal suppositories act directly in the affected anal area and can thus support the healing and regeneration of tissue after anal abscess surgery and shorten the healing time after the operation.
Suppositories can be used after a surgical procedure or in combination with other therapies to relieve symptoms, but they do not replace the necessary surgical drainage. A doctor should be consulted to find the best possible treatment for anal abscess for your individual situation.
CANNEFF® SUP suppositories contain a combination of hyaluronic acid and medical CBD (cannabidiol). This patented emulsion matrix with the combination of active ingredients plays an important role in modulating inflammatory processes and has a cell-protective effect. Hyaluronic acid, a natural polysaccharide in the human body, plays a crucial role in regulating moisture in the skin and connective tissue. It can bind enormous amounts of water, thereby supporting the stability and elasticity of tissues and mucous membranes in the anal canal. This unique combination of active ingredients in the CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories shows a synergistic effect.
Medical CBD optimizes the environment for the effect of hyaluronic acid, while hyaluronic acid maintains the moisture of the mucous membrane and thus supports healing and pain relief in injuries or inflammations in the rectal area, as well as after colorectal surgeries.

These rectally applied suppositories contain a unique combination of hyaluronic acid and CBD, which can contribute to faster regeneration and healing of tissue in the anal canal. Due to the emulsion matrix, the delivery of hyaluronic acid is increased fivefold (5x) compared to conventional rectal suppositories. It also contains cannabidiol (CBD) of medical quality.

What advantages do suppositories offer for anal abscesses?
Suppositories offer several advantages in treatment after anal abscess surgeries to support healing after an anal abscess operation. Due to their rectal application, they act locally directly at the site of the wound or inflammation. Thus, suppositories usually work faster because the mucous membranes absorb the active ingredient quickly and very effectively. Suppositories can contain pain-relieving ingredients that alleviate the intense pain in the anal area during Anal abscesses, but also anal itching as a symptom of the secondary condition anal fistulas, can be reduced.
Some suppositories, like CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories, even support the regeneration of damaged or inflamed tissue in the anal canal, which can accelerate the healing process after anal abscess surgery. Suppositories are also considered a good alternative to tablets and capsules, especially if you have difficulty swallowing larger tablets. They can also be easily administered when your general condition is reduced. In cases of nausea or vomiting, they are a good choice because the active ingredient enters the body directly and no side effects occur in the digestive tract.
How do suppositories differ from other treatments for anal abscesses?
Compared to other topical treatments (creams, ointments, or gels), suppositories offer several significant advantages for anorectal abscesses or perianal abscesses in general, making them particularly suitable for treatment aimed at faster tissue regeneration after anal abscess surgeries.
The biggest advantage of suppositories lies in their mode of action: they are inserted directly into the anus, allowing the active ingredients to take effect in the affected anal canal. This form of administration ensures a steady release of the ingredients over a longer period, which can be especially beneficial for hard-to-reach wounds in the anal canal after surgery for an anal abscess or an anal fistula. In contrast, creams or ointments are applied externally and primarily act on the surface of the skin around the buttocks. Ointments or creams can be part of a conservative treatment approach if the anal abscess is still in an early stage or if it is closer to the outer edge of the anus. Ointments and creams are easy to apply and can specifically care for the skin barrier. However, ointments and creams are less effective deep in the anal canal because they cannot penetrate as deeply into the tissue of the wound after anal abscess surgery as suppositories can.
Another difference is the comfort of use. While suppositories are sometimes perceived as uncomfortable, especially for people who have difficulty inserting them, creams and ointments are generally easier to apply. Ointments with lidocaine can be easily applied to the affected area and often provide immediate pain relief, but only moderately speed up the healing process.
In summary, suppositories are particularly beneficial to support healing after abscess surgery. In some cases, a combination of suppositories, ointments, or other medications can also be useful to promote comprehensive healing after anal abscess surgery. Medical follow-up care in the treatment of an anal abscess is of central importance. Be sure to discuss your treatment options with your attending physician. Your doctor can also advise you on further measures to accelerate the healing of tissue in the anal canal after abscess surgery.

How do I correctly use suppositories to treat anal abscesses?
The use of suppositories for the treatment of anal abscesses and other inflammations, as well as the secondary condition anal fistulas, is straightforward but still requires a certain level of care. To do this, separate a suppository at the perforated spot on the strip. Tear open the packaging by gently pulling it apart and remove the suppository. Insert the suppository, in a comfortable position, with the front end first into the rectum. It is recommended to wash your hands before and after insertion for hygiene reasons. Many patients prefer to insert the suppository lying on their side with bent legs. However, you can also choose another position that is comfortable for you. Gently insert the suppository into the anal canal, with the rounded end first. Be careful not to insert the suppository too deeply, only up to the internal sphincter. Hold the position for a few minutes so that the suppository stays in place and can dissolve. Splitting suppositories is also not recommended. Suppositories usually do not have break lines. Improper handling can cause the suppositories to break and become contaminated. After inserting the suppository, you should wash your hands thoroughly again to remove any bacterial residues from the anus. The effect of the suppository usually begins within about an hour.
As part of the treatment of an anal abscess, or also during follow-up care after anal abscess surgery, when using the suppositories, make sure to follow your doctor's instructions or the recommendations given on the packaging or leaflet exactly. Do not exceed the recommended dosage of CANNEFF® SUP. If you have further questions about the application, it is best to consult your doctor or pharmacist.
What alternatives to suppositories are there for treating anal abscesses?
Besides suppositories, there are other treatment options for perianal abscesses. These include certain ointments, creams, as well as special home remedies like chamomile sitz baths. In most anal abscesses, a surgical procedure called anal abscess surgery is performed, during which the pus pocket is drained and cleaned. Ointments and creams can work similarly to suppositories by locally relieving pain and inflammation in the anal region. A combination of different treatment methods is also possible and should be discussed with your doctor to best promote the healing and cleaning of the anal area affected by the abscess according to your situation. Read more about alternative therapy approaches for anal abscesses in the blog post on treatment of anal abscesses.
How can I support the healing of an anal abscess besides using suppositories?
In addition to the treatment of anal abscesses through an anal abscess surgery, you can also take other measures besides suppositories to support the healing process after anal abscess surgery. A fiber-rich diet ensures soft stools and thus reduces the strain on the affected anal area. Sitz baths with chamomile or oak bark can have anti-inflammatory effects and promote blood circulation, which can also accelerate the healing process after anorectal surgeries.
Also pay attention to gentle anal hygiene to avoid irritation, and avoid excessive straining during bowel movements. Regular exercise and adequate fluid intake can also help keep your bowel moving and prevent constipation. Your doctor can also provide you with further specific tips on how to promote healing after an anal abscess operation and prevent relapses.
What experiences are there with the use of suppositories for the treatment of anal abscesses?
Patient testimonials regarding the use of suppositories after anorectal surgeries provide valuable insights into individual healing processes. Some users report rapid relief of symptoms such as pain and itching in the anal area, as well as quick healing of the tissue in the anal canal after undergoing an anal abscess operation, thanks to the CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories.
Thus, especially after surgical procedures such as an anal abscess operation, some patients report a significant and rapid improvement in their symptoms after the surgery. CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories can also be used to support the healing process of anal fistulas. The testimonials about CANNEFF® suppositories in the context of treatment of anal abscesses illustrate that rectal suppositories are a promising treatment option to promote the healing of mucous membranes and anal tissue.
How should I properly store the suppositories for the treatment of anal abscesses?
CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories should be stored in the original packaging at room temperature, protected from sunlight, between 2°C and 25°C. Also keep the suppositories out of reach of children. High temperatures can cause the suppositories to melt. If this happens during high ambient temperatures in summer, you can also store the suppositories in the refrigerator during these periods. The shelf life of the suppositories is 2 years from production; the expiration date is indicated on the medical product packaging.
What should be considered regarding the dosage of suppositories in the treatment of anal abscesses?
To support the healing process after colorectal surgeries, such as an anal abscess operation, apply 1 suppository daily before bedtime. Depending on the indication to be treated and the type of suppository, the frequency of use may vary. Normally, the rectal suppositories should be used once daily. Your doctor will provide you with more detailed information. To support healing after an anal abscess surgery, take 1 CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppository daily before bedtime for 20 - 30 days. The duration of use depends on the progress of the treated condition of the anal abscess or the wound healing after surgery but should not exceed 30 days. The suppositories should be inserted into the anus before going to bed. Here you can find further information on the dosage of CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories.
How long does it take for the suppositories to take effect?
The effect of suppositories usually begins after 15 to 60 minutes. However, the long-term healing of the tissue mainly depends on the severity of the surgical procedure and, prior to that, the stage, location, and extent of the anorectal abscess. Even with regular use of suppositories, healing after an anal abscess operation can take several weeks. It may also be advisable to combine different treatment options to accelerate the healing of the tissue in the anal canal after the abscess surgery.
Can I combine suppositories with other treatments for anal abscesses?
Your doctor can recommend CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories as a supportive treatment for anorectal diseases, including to relieve the symptoms of anal abscesses, and also combine them with other therapy approaches. Most commonly, CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories are used after colorectal surgery, such as an anal abscess operation, to support wound healing after the surgery. Suppositories can also help promote and accelerate the healing process of the tissue in the anal canal in general. By combining different treatment methods, you can relieve the symptoms of anal abscesses more effectively, but above all accelerate healing after the anal abscess operation.
However, you should always consider the combination of medications, drugs, medical products, but also household remedies only after consulting your doctor or pharmacist regarding the treatment of anal abscess. This way, you can ensure that there are no unwanted interactions or side effects from the treatment. That means, clarify any interactions with other medications with your doctor at the start of treating an anal abscess.

Are suppositories suitable for women during pregnancy as part of the treatment of anal abscesses?
Whether suppositories are suitable as part of the treatment after anal abscess surgery during pregnancy depends on the active ingredients contained in the suppositories. Many over-the-counter suppositories can generally also be used by pregnant women, especially those with natural or mild ingredients. However, there are suppositories that contain active ingredients not recommended during pregnancy, such as certain anti-inflammatory or anesthetic substances and agents.
There is no evidence yet for the safety of CANNEFF® SUP suppositories during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which is why this product is not recommended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Suppositories with CBD should therefore not be used during pregnancy, as there is not yet sufficient research on this.
It is important that pregnant or breastfeeding women always consult their doctor before using medications, drugs, or medical products for complaints such as anal abscesses. Your doctor can best assess which treatment method is suitable for your individual situation and whether the use of suppositories is the ideal treatment method in your case.
Are suppositories also suitable for the prevention of anal abscesses?
Suppositories are usually used for treatment after anal abscess surgery. To prevent this, a high-fiber diet, adequate fluid intake, and gentle anal hygiene are recommended. These measures and many others can help keep your stool soft and reduce the likelihood of anal abscesses, as well as anal fistulas and anal fissures in the anal canal.
Can I buy the suppositories for the treatment of anal abscesses over the counter at the pharmacy?
In the pharmacy, you will find both prescription suppositories and over-the-counter medical products for the treatment of anal abscesses. CANNEFF® SUP suppositories are available without a prescription in Austria and you can order them directly from the webshop. For the treatment of anal fistulas, but also as supportive therapy after anal abscess surgery, we offer a CANNEFF® SUP package at a reduced special price.
In Germany, a prescription and pharmacy requirement applies because CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories, as a Class 2a medical device, also contain medical CBD (cannabidiol). In Germany, the suppositories are therefore considered prescription medical devices, and your general practitioner or specialist must prescribe CANNEFF® SUP suppositories in Germany by prescription. Consequently, you can only order CANNEFF® SUP suppositories with a prescription through your pharmacy in Germany.
Can I accelerate healing after anal abscess surgery with suppositories?
Yes, suppositories can support the healing of tissue after anal abscess surgeries, especially if they contain special active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and CBD. CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories offer targeted local treatment that supports the healing process of damaged tissue in the anal area. With CANNEFF® SUP suppositories, you can accelerate the healing and regeneration of tissue in anorectal canal diseases or also contribute to supporting the healing process of ulcers in the rectal area.
The unique combination of hyaluronic acid and CBD is used in CANNEFF® SUP suppositories. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body that plays a key role in regulating moisture in the skin and mucous membranes. After surgery for an anal abscess, hyaluronic acid can help moisturize the damaged mucosa in the anal canal by binding water and keeping the tissue elastic and stable. This facilitates healing and regeneration in anorectal diseases, as the anal mucosa can regenerate better and there is less tension on the injured tissue after surgery. Additionally, hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory effects, which can further accelerate healing. CBD is valued in the medical field for its versatile pharmacological properties and complements the effect of hyaluronic acid. CBD influences the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating inflammation, and can thus speed up the healing process by reducing the inflammatory response in the affected tissue.
The combination of hyaluronic acid and CBD in CANNEFF® SUP suppositories produces a synergistic effect. The emulsion matrix in the CANNEFF® SUP suppositories increases the release of hyaluronic acid fivefold compared to conventional suppositories, which can lead to faster and more effective healing of anorectal canal diseases.
How do CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories accelerate tissue healing in the anal canal?
CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories, with the combination of hyaluronic acid and CBD, offer an innovative and effective solution to support tissue healing after anal abscess surgeries. The targeted local effect of the suppositories in the anal canal, combined with the anti-inflammatory and healing-promoting properties of the active ingredient matrix, can help the affected anal mucosa regenerate faster and sustainably and effectively relieve the symptoms of the anal abscess.
Faster symptom relief of the anal abscess
Through the local effect, symptoms of anal abscesses such as pain and anal itching, which occur with anal abscesses as well as the secondary condition anal fistulas, are effectively relieved.
Promotion of mucosal wound healing in the anal canal
The suppositories not only support the healing of anal fissures, but also generally promote faster regeneration of the tissue in the anal canal through the combination of active ingredients. Thus, CANNEFF® SUP rectal suppositories are ideal for supporting the healing and regeneration of the mucous membrane and tissue in the anal canal after anal abscess surgery.
Improvement of tissue elasticity in the anal canal
Hyaluronic acid improves the elasticity of the tissue in the anal canal, ensuring it remains flexible. This not only promotes healing after the anal abscess surgery, but also reduces the risk of recurring proctological diseases. Anal abscesses often tend to recur if the infected tissue is not completely removed during surgery. In about half of the anal abscesses, delayed treatment or wound healing disorders after surgery lead to the formation of an anal fistula, which usually also requires surgical treatment.
