For internal and external piles and anal itching in adults 18 and over. 15g tube with a nozzle for internal use, pharmacy-only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the ointment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ointment base stays put and forms a protective layer over sore, itchy skin, and the nozzle lets it reach just inside as well.
