How Anusol Plus HC Suppositories Work 

 

Anusol Plus HC Suppositories contain a combination of ingredients that work together to treat haemorrhoids and provide relief from itching and swelling. They also help prevent bacterial growth in the affected area, protecting raw and sore skin.

  • Bismuth salts 
     

  • Balsam of Peru

Gently wash and dry the affected area before use. 

 

Wash your hands before and after using the product. 

 

Remove 1 suppository from its plastic cover and insert it into your back passage. Ensure it is inserted far enough inside to prevent it from slipping out.

Do not use more than 3 suppositories a day, and do not use for longer than 7 consecutive days.
