What is Preparation H Gel?

Preparation H Gel is a treatment for piles and haemorrhoids which helps to moisturise the affected area. It helps to soothe and relieve symptoms of itchy and dry skin caused by piles. It’s non-greasy and is quickly absorbed into the skin for fast results.

 

What are piles and haemorrhoids?

Piles, also known as haemorrhoids, are enlarged blood vessels found inside and around your anus. Nobody knows the exact cause of piles, but one of the most common things thought to cause piles is straining too much when you’re on the toilet. This happens when you’re suffering from constipation.

 

How does Preparation H Gel help to treat piles?

Preparation H Gel uses natural ingredients to help cool and soothe the area affected by piles or haemorrhoids. One of these ingredients is Hamamelis water, more commonly known as witch hazel, which is well known for its soothing and cooling properties.

 

Can I use this product if I’m using another medication?

You should speak to your doctor or Chemist 4 U pharmacist before using this product if you are taking any other medication, including those obtained without a prescription. This especially applies to products used in the same area of application. Some medications can interact when used together, making your medication less effective or causing unwanted side effects, but a medical professional can help you to avoid this.

 

Can I use this product if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

How to use Preparation H Gel

Apply Preparation H Gel freely to the affected area after every bowel movement. Also, be sure to apply Preparation H Gel when you are feeling any dryness or itching in areas affected by piles or haemorrhoids.

 

When should Preparation H Gel not be used?

Preparation H Gel is not suitable for use by children under the age of 12. Do not use this product if you are allergic to witch hazel or any of the other listed ingredients. Do not swallow this gel, if you accidentally swallow this product seek medical advice. Speak to your doctor or Chemist 4 U pharmacist before using Preparation H Gel if you are not sure whether your bleeding is being caused by piles, or you are suffering from excessive bleeding.
