What are Anusol Plus Hydrocortisone Suppositories?
Anusol Plus Suppositories are a medicated treatment for haemorrhoids (piles) and other anal irritation. Formulated with hydrocortisone, these suppositories provide fast relief from pain, swelling, and itching. They work by reducing inflammation and soothing discomfort, allowing the affected area to heal more effectively.
How do Anusol Plus Hydrocortisone Suppositories work?
Anusol Plus Suppositories contain hydrocortisone, zinc oxide, and bismuth salts, which work together to:
Reduce inflammation – Hydrocortisone is a mild steroid that decreases swelling and irritation.
Protect and soothe – Zinc oxide and bismuth salts form a protective barrier to aid healing.
Relieve discomfort – The formula helps ease pain, itching, and discomfort caused by haemorrhoids.
- Wash hands before and after use.
- Unwrap one suppository and gently insert it into the rectum using clean fingers.
- Use morning and night, and after each bowel movement if needed.
- Do not use for more than 7 days without medical advice.
Like all medicines, Anusol Plus Suppositories may cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects include:
