Introduction

Anusol Plus HC Suppositories are a prescription-only treatment designed for internal haemorrhoids (piles) and associated anal discomfort. These suppositories provide fast-acting relief from the pain, itching, and inflammation that often accompany internal piles. They are particularly effective during flare-ups when swelling and discomfort are at their peak. Suitable for adults, they offer discreet and targeted therapy directly where it’s needed most.

How It Works

Each suppository combines multiple active ingredients: hydrocortisone (a corticosteroid), pramocaine hydrochloride (a local anaesthetic), and antiseptics like bismuth oxide, zinc oxide, and balsam Peru. Hydrocortisone reduces inflammation and swelling, calming the body’s immune response in the anal area. Pramocaine relieves pain and itching by numbing the affected tissue. The antiseptic components help protect the area from bacterial infection and promote the healing of sore, damaged tissue.

Why Choose Anusol Plus HC Suppositories

Anusol Plus HC Suppositories for internal piles provide targeted relief from within, making them more effective for internal haemorrhoids than creams or ointments alone. The multi-ingredient formula offers anti-inflammatory, anaesthetic, and antiseptic action in one dose. The suppositories are small, smooth, and easy to insert, offering comfort and privacy. Many patients experience symptom relief within a day of starting treatment. These are a trusted solution often recommended by GPs for short-term flare-up management.
