€6.50

Anusol Ointment provides effective, soothing relief from the pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles), itching, fissures and other related anal conditions. Contains ingredients that soothe and protect raw areas, help reduce swelling, prevent bacterial growth and can promote healing. Provides extra protection for dry, sore skin. Relieves discomfort associated with minor ano-rectal conditions through antiseptic, astringent and emollient properties.

Anusol Ointment provides antiseptic, astringent and emollient properties which help to relieve discomfort associated with minor ano-rectal conditions. Bismuth Oxide is weakly astringent with supposed antiseptic properties and has a protective action on mucous membranes and raw surfaces. Zinc Oxide is an astringent and mild antiseptic and probably owes its actions to the ability of the zinc ion to precipitate protein but other mechanisms may be involved. Zinc Oxide is also used to absorb skin moisture and decrease friction and discourage growth of certain bacteria. Balsam Peru has a very mild antiseptic action by virtue of its content of cinnamic and benzoic acids. It is believed to promote the growth of epithelial cells.

Anusol ointment is thicker and is good for relieving the symptoms of sore, dry skin. Anusol cream is thinner which means some people find it easier to rub in.
