What is the difference between Germoloids and other treatments for piles?
All Germoloids products contain Lidocaine, a powerful pharmacy-strength anaesthetic that has many uses in treating external pain. Lidocaine is not found in any other commonly-available piles cream. The lidocaine, combined with the anti-swelling ingredients (zinc oxide in the case of the cream/ointment/suppositories mean that as well as treating the swelling, you are numbing the pain so can get on with your everyday life.
How do I decide which Germoloids product to buy?
- The standard treatment is the Germoloids ointment 55ml, which provides protection for the skin.
- Germoloids cream feels more like a moisturiser and so it depends on how you feel (they both contain the same formulation).
- Germoloids suppositories deliver a constant, measured dose for a longer period of time, and can be used in conjunction with the ointment/cream to treat both the internal and the external symptoms.
