How does it work?
Anusol contains a number of ingredients, which are useful in the relief of symptoms associated with piles (haemorrhoids) and other local skin irritations in the anal area. Bismuth oxide, balsam peru and zinc oxide have mild antiseptic, protective and astringent properties (i.e. constricts blood vessels). Balsam peru is also believed to promote the growth of new skin cells. Anusol ointment and suppositories also contain bismuth subgallate, which has similar antiseptic, protective and astringent properties.
Anusol is available as rectal cream, ointment and suppositories. Since Anusol suppositories are inserted into the rectum they are more suitable for treating internal piles, while the cream and ointment may be used to relieve both internal and external piles.
What is it used for?
• Piles (haemorrhoids)
• Inflammation of the rectum (proctitis)
• Itching around the back passage (pruritus ani)
• Tear in the lining of the back passage (anal fissure)
Warning!
Anusol preparations are not to be taken by mouth.
How to use:
Adults and elderly (over 65 years): apply to the affected area at night, in the morning and after each evacuation until the condition is controlled. Thoroughly cleanse the affected area, dry and apply cream. ANUSOL cream is prepared in a vanishing cream base and may be gently smoothed on to the affected area without the need to apply a gauze dressing. For internal conditions, use rectal nozzle provided. Remove the nozzle cap. Clean the nozzle after each use. Not to be taken orally.
