    Introduction to Uniroid HC Ointment

    Uniroid HC Ointment is a medical preparation specifically designed to alleviate discomfort and pain associated with haemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, and anal fissures. It’s a carefully formulated blend of two active ingredients – hydrocortisone and cinchocaine hydrochloride – that work in tandem to provide effective relief for the affected areas. Uniroid HC Ointment is primarily used to treat both internal and external haemorrhoids. Here’s how it helps:
    • External Haemorrhoids (piles): By providing short-term relief from pain, irritation, and associated itching around the anus, it aids in easing the discomfort during daily activities.
    • Internal Haemorrhoids: It is also applied internally using the nozzle applicator provided in the package, targeting haemorrhoids that form inside the rectum.
    In addition to haemorrhoids, it can also be an effective treatment for anal fissures, which are painful tears in the lining of the large intestine.

    Uses of Uniroid HC Ointment

    External Haemorrhoids Treatment

    Provides short-term relief from pain, irritation, and associated itching around the back passage (anus).

    Internal Haemorrhoids Treatment

    Utilizes the nozzle applicator provided for effective treatment.

    Anal Fissures

    Speeds up the healing process of tears or open sores near the anus. Consult your GP if there’s no improvement after 7 days or if piles keep reoccurring.

    How to Prevent Haemorrhoids

    To reduce the risk of piles and the need for Uniroid-HC Ointment, lifestyle and dietary changes can help:
    1. Maintain a Healthy Diet
    A balanced diet rich in fibre can soften the stool and increase its bulk, which helps to avoid the straining that can cause haemorrhoids.
    • Eat High-Fibre Foods: Include more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet. Foods such as beans, broccoli, apples, and whole-wheat bread are excellent choices.
    • Drink Plenty of Water: Stay well-hydrated by drinking six to eight glasses of water a day. This can help prevent constipation.
    • Avoid Certain Foods: Reduce the intake of salty, fatty, or sugary foods that can exacerbate the condition.
    1. Regular Exercise
    Exercise can help keep your digestive system functioning smoothly and prevent constipation.
    • Stay Active: Regular physical activity, including walking, swimming, or yoga, can keep your bowels moving regularly.
    • Avoid Sitting for Long Periods: Prolonged sitting, especially on the toilet, can increase pressure on the veins in the anus.
    1. Proper Toilet Habits
    Developing Good Toilet habits can go a long way in preventing haemorrhoids.
    • Don’t Delay: Go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge. Holding it can lead to harder stools that strain the area.
    • Avoid Straining: Straining during bowel movements can cause veins in the rectum to swell.
    • Use Soft Toilet Paper: Use unscented, soft toilet paper to wipe gently.
    1. Avoid Heavy Lifting
    Lifting heavy objects can put extra pressure on the veins, leading to haemorrhoids.
    • Lift Properly: If you must lift something heavy, make sure to use your legs and not your waist.
    • Avoid Unnecessary Strain: Don’t lift anything that may cause undue strain on the lower part of the body.
    1. Consider Medication and Creams
    If you are prone to haemorrhoids, speak to a pharmacist or GP. They may recommend:
    • Stool Softeners: These can help if constipation is an issue.
    • Creams and Ointments: Products like Uniroid HC ointment are available to ease pain and swelling.

    Uniroid HC Ointment Ingredients

    Hydrocortisone: As a corticosteroid, hydrocortisone acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, soothing the irritation and inflammation of the skin around the anal region. It targets the immune response that triggers inflammation, reducing swelling and discomfort in the affected area. Cinchocaine Hydrochloride: This ingredient is a local anaesthetic, providing immediate pain relief by numbing the affected region. Cinchocaine hydrochloride blocks the nerves from sending pain signals to the brain, allowing for a more comfortable experience during bowel movements.

    Uniroid HC Ointment for Fissures

    If you suspect an anal fissure, consult a GP. Uniroid HC Ointment can help in healing, but a proper diagnosis is crucial.

    Uniroid HC Ointment vs Anusol

    Both Uniroid HC Ointment and Anusol HC Ointment are well-known treatments for haemorrhoids, but they differ in several aspects such as active ingredients, formulation, and application. Uniroid HC Ointment contains two active ingredients Hydrocortisone and Cinchocaine. Anusol on the other hand contains four active ingredients:
    • Hydrocortisone: The same anti-inflammatory substance found in Uniroid.
    • Zinc Oxide: Helps in healing and provides a protective barrier.
    • Bismuth Salts: Acts as an astringent, reducing moisture in the affected area.
    • Benzyl Benzoate: Used as a mild antiseptic.
    Both brans provide various forms to suit individual preferences, including creams, ointments, and suppositories. However, the specific formulations may vary, affecting the texture and application.

    Pregnancy and Uniroid HC Ointment

    Do not use Uniroid HC Ointment during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consulting with your doctor first.
