Description

Anusol Cream is designed to calm and protect irritated skin caused by haemorrhoids and related anal discomfort. It works by combining soothing and protective ingredients that help ease itching and irritation while supporting the natural healing process. The cream is smooth and easy to apply, making it suitable for both internal and external use when used as directed.

  • Provides relief from itching and irritation
  • Helps reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Soothes soreness and discomfort
  • Suitable for internal and external haemorrhoids

Directions

Wash and dry the affected area gently before applying Anusol Cream. Apply a small amount to the affected area using clean fingers, typically morning and night and after each bowel movement, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional. If using internally, attach the applicator provided, apply as instructed, and clean the applicator thoroughly after use.

Do not exceed the recommended frequency of application. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.

Ingredients

Anusol Cream commonly contains active ingredients such as zinc oxide and bismuth oxide, which help protect and soothe irritated skin. It may also include ingredients like balsam peru to provide additional soothing benefits. These components work together to reduce discomfort and form a protective barrier over the affected area.

Anusol Cream also contains standard cream base ingredients to ensure smooth application and stability. For a full list of ingredients, refer to the packaging and leaflet, especially if you have known sensitivities or allergies.

Warnings

Do not use Anusol Cream if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken or infected skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you experience increased irritation, rash or discomfort after using Anusol Cream, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Consult a doctor before using Anusol Cream if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or using other rectal treatments. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Use only as directed and for short-term relief unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional.
