How does Anusol Cream work?
Anusol Cream contains a blend of active ingredients, including zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, and balsam peru, which work together to provide anti-inflammatory, protective, and soothing effects.

- Apply a small amount of Anusol Cream directly to the affected area up to three times a day.
- If using internally, use the included applicator for effective application.
- Continue use for a few days after symptoms improve to promote complete healing.
- If symptoms persist for more than 7 days, consult a doctor.
While Anusol Cream is generally well tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects, including:
