Anusol The Anusol range provides effective, soothing relief from the pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles), itching, fissures and other related anal conditions. Anusol contains ingredients that soothe and protect raw areas, help reduce swelling, prevent bacterial growth and can promote healing. Anusol is available as rectal cream, ointment and suppositories. Anusol contains zinc oxide, which shrinks body tissues and hence reduces the size of the swelling; bismuth oxide, which has a similar effect to zinc oxide and also acts as an antiseptic; and balsam peru which is an antiseptic. In addition, Anusol HC contains hydrocortisone which is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Frequently Asked Questions about Anusol: What is the difference between the cream and the ointment? The cream and the ointment contain the same active ingredients. The difference is that the ointment is thicker and hence is also good for relieving the symptoms of sore, dry skin. The cream is thinner and hence some people find it easier to rub in. The cream is also less likely to stain underpants or knickers than the ointment. What is Anusol Plus HC? The Plus HC range contain hydrocortisone and are for more serious symptoms. Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory that has a stronger effect in reducing the size of piles. However, it should be used sparingly, and should not be used for more than about a week continuously, as it can cause thinning of the skin around the anus with long-term use. How do I use the suppositories? The suppositories are convenient and non-messy. They also provide a more measured, constant dose over a longer period of time than the cream or the ointment. The suppositories can be used in conjunction with the cream/ointment. In addition, the cream or ointment can be used to lubricate the suppository before insertion.
