Anusol Ointment helps to relieve the swelling, itch and irritation of internal and irritation of internal and external piles (haemorrhoids) and anal itching. Anusol Ointment contains the following ingredients:

• Hydrocortisone acetate is a mild steroid which helps reduce inflammation.

• Zinc oxide and Bismuth salts are mildly astringent and antiseptic. They soothe and protect raw areas.

The only difference between Anusol Plus Ointment and Anusol HC Ointment is the latter being a ‘P’ medicine and the other a POM (prescription only medicine).

The default classification of medicine in the UK is Pharmacy medicine (P). However, newly authorised medicines are usually restricted and are only available with a prescription. Once the medicine has been used and evidence is garnered that it is safe for use without a prescription, the product can be reclassified as a non-prescription product.

There is currently no difference between Anusol Plus Ointment and Anusol HC Ointment. Please speak to a doctor before purchasing products over-the-counter if you’re already using other OTC or POM medicines.

You may want to use Anusol HC Ointment for haemorrhoids if you experience any of the signs and symptoms of piles.

Signs and symptoms of haemorrhoids include:

• Bright red blood after having a poo
• Itchy anus
• Feeling as though you still need to poo after going to the toilet
• Slimy mucus on toilet paper or in underwear after wiping the bottom
• Pain and lumps around the anus.

Using Anusol HC Ointment will be different depending on whether the piles are internal or external.

For external piles, after washing and drying the affected area, the ointment should be applied using a gauze dressing.

For internal piles; after washing and drying the affected area, crew the nozzle provided onto the tube, remove the nozzle cap; insert the nozzle into the back passage and squeeze gently. Clean the nozzle after every use.

As well as recommending Anusol HC Ointment, a pharmacist may be able to recommend other treatment options. Some of these could include:

• Creams to ease the pain, itching and swelling
• Medication that softens stool to help constipation
• Cold packs to ease discomfort

A common question we see online is “Anusol Cream or Ointment?”

The difference between Anusol Cream and Anusol HC Ointment are the way they are designed to be applied to active haemorrhoids. Anusol Ointment is thicker and is used for relieving symptoms of sore, dry skin. Anusol Cream on the other hand, is thinner and is more easily absorbed.

Anusol HC Ointment is designed to be used for internal piles and external piles, helping to relieve the swelling, itch and irritation. The ingredients in Anusol HC Ointment are called Benzyl Benzoate and hydrocortisone acetate, a steroid that reduces inflammation.

Anusol HC Ointment can be externally applied whenever you need relief. However, the relief provided by Anusol HC ointment isn’t as long-lasting as a suppository. A suppository breaks down more slowly, allowing the medication to be released over a period of time.
