Anusol Relief For Haemorrhoids - 12 Suppositories

What are Anusol suppositories?

Anusol suppositories work to treat symptoms of internal piles or haemorrhoids, including itching or swelling in the area inside and around your anus. They also help to provide protection for raw parts of the affected area.

Why do I have piles (also known as haemorrhoids)?

The exact cause of piles, or haemorrhoids, is unknown but one of the most common things thought to cause piles is straining on the toilet. This happens when you’re feeling constipated and try to pass a bowel movement. During pregnancy, you may also get piles as your growing baby places increased pressure on your anal vessels.

How do Anusol suppositories treat haemorrhoids or piles?

Anusol suppositories contain three active ingredients which work to treat internal piles and relieve any swelling and itching you may feel. They are also antiseptic, which means they discourage bacteria from growing in the affected area. These ingredients include:

• Zinc oxide
• Bismuth salts
• Balsam Pero

How to use Anusol suppositories.

Wash and dry the affected area with a soft towel before using Anusol suppositories. Remove the suppository from its plastic cover and insert into your back passage, making sure it is far enough inside that it will not slip out. Insert one Anusol suppository at night, one first thing in the morning, and one after every bowel movement.
