Alongside the familiar astringents, this ointment adds hydrocortisone — a mild steroid that directly reduces inflammation. Four-way action: shrinks piles, relieves discomfort, soothes itching and reduces the inflammation driving all three. 15g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the steroid adds — and what it costs you\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen piles are genuinely swollen and inflamed, astringents alone can be slow. Hydrocortisone calms the inflammation itself, which often breaks the cycle quickly.

Cleanse the area and pat dry first. For external use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot for anyone under 18, not if the area is infected, and not in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor says so — speak to our pharmacist, as plain Anusol or Anusol Natural may suit you better.
