Anusol HC Suppositories

Anusol HC Suppositories are used to treat painful and inflamed haemorrhoids, also known as piles. They are particularly effective for internal haemorrhoids that cause itching, swelling, soreness, and rectal discomfort. The active ingredient, hydrocortisone, reduces inflammation directly at the source, easing irritation and pain inside the back passage.

Haemorrhoids are very common and develop when increased pressure in the pelvic area causes veins in the anal canal to swell. This can happen due to straining during bowel movements, pregnancy, childbirth, or long periods of sitting. Symptoms often include itching, pain, swelling, and sometimes bright red blood when passing stools.

Anusol HC Suppositories work locally in the rectum to calm inflammation and reduce swelling, making everyday activities and bowel movements more comfortable. You can buy Anusol HC Suppositories online from Pharmacy Planet after completing a free online consultation that is reviewed by one of our UK prescribers.

Anusol HC Suppositories are a rectal treatment used to relieve inflammation, itching, and pain caused by haemorrhoids and other anal conditions. They are inserted into the rectum, where they dissolve and release hydrocortisone directly onto the affected area.

Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid medicine that reduces inflammation, swelling, and irritation. Because the treatment works locally, it targets symptoms at the source rather than affecting the whole body.

Anusol HC Suppositories are commonly prescribed for people with internal piles and ongoing rectal discomfort that has not settled with milder treatments.

Anusol HC Suppositories contain hydrocortisone, which reduces the body's inflammatory response in the rectal tissue. When inflammation is reduced, swelling goes down and irritated tissue becomes less sensitive.

Once inserted, the suppository melts and coats the lining of the rectum. This action:

• Reduces swelling in haemorrhoidal tissue.
• Relieves itching and soreness inside the rectum.
• Eases rectal pain during and after bowel movements.
• Calms inflamed and irritated skin.

By treating inflammation directly in the affected area, Anusol HC Suppositories provide targeted relief from piles and related anal discomfort.

Anusol HC Suppositories are used to treat a range of anal and rectal conditions, including:

• Internal haemorrhoids (piles).
• Rectal inflammation (proctitis).
• Anal itching and irritation.
• Pain and swelling inside the back passage.
• Discomfort following anal or rectal procedures.

They are especially suitable when symptoms such as itching, swelling, or pain are present inside the rectum rather than externally.

Always use Anusol HC Suppositories exactly as advised by one of our UK prescribers. They are for rectal use only.

General guidance for use includes:

• Insert one suppository into the rectum up to two or three times daily, as prescribed.
• Unwrap the suppository before use.
• Moisten the tip with a small amount of water if needed.
• Lie on your side and gently insert the suppository pointed end first.
• Remain lying down for a few minutes to prevent it from slipping out.
• Avoid a bowel movement for at least one hour after insertion.
• Wash your hands after each use.
• Avoid handling the suppository for long periods, as it melts quickly.

Do not use Anusol HC Suppositories for longer than prescribed. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, contact one of our UK prescribers for further advice.

Anusol HC Suppositories may be suitable for:

• Adults with internal haemorrhoids causing pain, itching, or swelling.
• People with rectal inflammation or anal irritation.
• Those experiencing ongoing rectal discomfort linked to piles.

They may not be suitable if you:

• Are allergic to hydrocortisone or any ingredients in the suppositories.
• Have untreated rectal infections.
• Have severe or unexplained rectal bleeding.

A short online consultation allows one of our UK prescribers to check whether Anusol HC Suppositories are appropriate for you.

Anusol HC Suppositories can cause side effects in some people, although most use them without any problems.

Common Side Effects of Anusol HC Suppositories:

• Mild burning or irritation in the rectal area.
• Dryness or discomfort around the anus.
• Temporary itching after insertion.

Rarely, hydrocortisone can be absorbed into the bloodstream, particularly if used for long periods. This may cause symptoms such as unusual tiredness, headache, swelling of the ankles or feet, or changes in mood.

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:

• New or ongoing rectal bleeding.
• Severe abdominal pain or black stools.
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as facial swelling or difficulty breathing.

Anusol HC Suppositories can interact with other medicines, especially when used regularly or for extended periods.

Tell one of our UK prescribers if you are using:

• Blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin.
• Vaccines.
• Other corticosteroid treatments.

Always disclose all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products during your consultation to ensure safe use.
