Introduction

Anusol Plus HC Ointment is a prescription-strength treatment used to relieve the symptoms of internal and external haemorrhoids (piles). It combines a local anaesthetic, anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, and antiseptic ingredients to reduce pain, swelling, itching, and irritation caused by haemorrhoids or anal discomfort. Suitable for adults, apply directly to the affected area to provide targeted relief.

How It Works

Anusol Plus HC contains hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and swelling in the anal area. It also includes pramocaine hydrochloride, a local anaesthetic that helps to numb the area and relieve pain and itching. Additional antiseptic ingredients such as zinc oxide and bismuth oxide help to soothe and protect the skin, reduce bacterial growth, and promote healing. This multi-action approach targets the symptoms of haemorrhoids at their source.

Why Choose Anusol Plus HC

Anusol Plus HC Ointment for haemorrhoid relief is a trusted and effective treatment recommended by healthcare professionals for its fast-acting, triple-action formula. It provides localised relief and is easy to apply, with an included nozzle for internal use if needed. The soothing ointment forms a protective barrier, offering quick relief from discomfort and supporting healing of the affected area. It is ideal for short-term use during flare-ups and can help you return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Important Note

Anusol Plus HC should not be used for longer than 7 days unless advised by a doctor. Avoid use if the area is infected or if symptoms worsen. Do not apply to broken or bleeding skin. Store at room temperature, away from heat and light. Always wash hands before and after use and clean the applicator thoroughly between uses. If there is no improvement after several days, consult your GP.
