If symptoms have not improved within 7 days, see your GP or pharmacist rather than continuing.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Piles are common in pregnancy — check with your midwife, pharmacist or GP before using any treatment.

Product overview

About Anusol Ointment

The original, and still the one most people picture. Anusol's three-way action shrinks piles, relieves discomfort and soothes itching, calming irritation and relieving sore, cracked skin — through astringents rather than anaesthetics or steroids. 25g.

How the astringent approach works

Zinc oxide and the bismuth salts tighten and shrink swollen tissue while forming a protective barrier over damaged skin, and balsam Peru soothes. It's a gentler mechanism than a local anaesthetic — less instant, but well tolerated, and it addresses the swelling rather than just masking the feeling of it.

How to use

Cleanse the area and pat dry, then apply as directed on the pack — typically at night, in the morning and after each bowel movement. For external use only.

Good to know

If symptoms haven't improved within 7 days, see your GP. Rectal bleeding always needs assessing. If the piles are internal rather than external, suppositories will reach them where an ointment cannot.
