Anusol HC

Haemorrhoids (piles) are distracting in your day-to-day life, which is why many opt for treatment such as Anusol HC to get rid of discomfort quickly. Available in both a suppository and cream, Anusol HC's flexibility in how it is applied means many men and women have plausible options when treating an outbreak of piles. You can buy either a 30 g tube of ointment or 12 packs of suppositories at OnlineClinic after completing a quick and free online consultation. When ordered before 4.30pm, you will receive your medication the very next day free of charge, so you can start treatment quickly before symptoms worsen.

With any medication in the UK, you need to obtain a prescription before buying. By doing this online, you avoid the time wasted booking and attending an appointment in person; especially for treatment you know works for you.

Anusol HC is an ointment to help reduce discomfort of haemorrhoids (piles). It is also effective at clearing up the infection quickly, stopping itching and painful bowel movements as well as further infection to the surrounding area. Available in both a cream and suppository, you have the choice of how to apply the solution based on ease and personal preference. This means Anusol HC is suitable for internal and external piles. Applied directly to the affected area, Anusol HC works swiftly at minimising discomfort and the steroid component of the solution is only activated when symptoms are particularly unpleasant.

Anusol HC is a steroid treatment with the active ingredient hydrocortisone acetate that is rubbed directly onto the area in question. This reduces inflammation, discomfort and helps the area heal much quicker. Rather than working continuously, the formula in Anusol HC is only activated when the area is in significant discomfort or pain meaning that the solution is much more concentrated. Other ingredients in Anusol HC include zinc oxide and bismuth subgallate (bismuth salts), which help soothe and protect the affected area and reduce further irritation.

Using Anusol HC will depend on whether you buy the ointment in cream form packaged in a tube or individual suppositories. For both, the same process goes as follows:

• Clean and dry your hands and the affected area
• Pat the affected area to avoid further irritation
• Apply twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening)
• Often applied after a bowel movement

Anusol HC shouldn't be used for more than seven days, however this could vary depending on doctor's instructions.

Anusol HC cream

• Typically used for external haemorrhoids
• Comes with rectal nozzle
• Apply directly to the piles using the nozzle
• Clean the surrounding area to avoid irritation

Anusol HC suppositories

• Can be used for mainly internal piles
• Can be used with the cream to lubricate the area before application
• Delivered in packs with perfected dosage so you don't have to guess

Anusol HC dosages vary depending on which type of application you buy. The ointment/cream is in a 30 g dosage whilst the suppository is in a 33 g dosage. As both are low doses within 3 g of each other, it is a personal preference and where the affected area is (internal or external) that determines which Anusol HC solution you buy, not the most tolerable.

Like all haemorrhoids treatments, Anusol HC has minimal side effects that are unlikely to occur. For Anusol HC, this is down to the medicine not being directly ingested and therefore not passing through your body as well as a low dosage. Side effects include itching or pain where you have applied the cream or a rash appearing. To avoid such effects, it is common practice to remove any cream or ointment not touching the affected area after applying.

Precautions of Anusol HC cream should be considered before buying. These include if you are, have or have had:

• allergy to any of the ingredients
• A viral skin infection (genital warts for example)
• A bacterial skin infection
