Full Product Description

Anusol Plus HC Ointment 15g is specially formulated to relieve the symptoms of internal and external haemorrhoids (piles), particularly where inflammation and swelling are present.

It contains hydrocortisone acetate, a mild corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and calm irritated tissue. This makes it particularly suitable for more uncomfortable flare-ups.

The ointment base forms a protective barrier over sensitive skin, helping to reduce further irritation and support healing.

It is ideal for relieving:

• Swelling and inflammation
• Itching and irritation
• Soreness and discomfort
• Pain during bowel movements

How It Works

Anusol Plus HC Ointment works in two ways:

• Hydrocortisone acetate reduces inflammation and swelling.
• The soothing ointment base protects delicate skin and helps minimise friction and irritation.

Together, these actions help relieve symptoms and improve comfort during flare-ups.
