Overview

If piles are leaving you sore, itchy, and uncomfortable, Anusol Cream offers fast and soothing relief. This trusted treatment works directly where it’s needed to reduce swelling, calm irritation, and ease pain, helping you feel more comfortable throughout the day.

Light, easy to apply, and designed for both internal and external haemorrhoids, Anusol Cream is a discreet way to manage symptoms and get back to normal life.

This medicine requires a secure online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber, and will only be supplied if clinically appropriate.


What is Anusol Cream


Anusol Cream is one of the most widely used treatments for haemorrhoids (piles) and related discomfort. Its carefully balanced formula combines soothing, protective, and anti-inflammatory ingredients that work together to:

  • Soothe itching, soreness, and irritation
  • Reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area
  • Protect delicate skin around the back passage and support healing


Anusol Cream can be applied both externally and internally using the applicator provided, delivering targeted relief where it’s needed most. For many patients, it is the first-line treatment for haemorrhoids, offering fast and effective symptom control without the need for invasive procedures.

Directions

  • Wash and dry the affected area before application.
  • Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area morning and night, and after every bowel movement if possible.
  • For internal use, apply the cream using the applicator nozzle provided.
  • Wash hands before and after use.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Anusol Cream well, and side effects are uncommon when the cream is used as directed. However, as with all medicines, some people may experience unwanted effects.

Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • Mild burning, stinging, or irritation after application – usually short-lived and settles quickly.


Less common (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):

  • Local skin irritation or rash – typically mild but may require stopping treatment if it does not improve.


Most side effects are temporary, and the majority of patients use Anusol Cream without problems.

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list of side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine for full details. If irritation persists, or you notice anything unusual, stop using the cream and consult your doctor, pharmacist, or prescriber.

Warnings

Do not use Anusol Cream if you:

  • Are allergic to any of the ingredients
  • Have a severe infection in the anal area that hasn’t been treated


Other cautions:

  • For short-term use only — if symptoms don’t improve within 7 days, seek medical advice
  • Not usually recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a doctor
  • Always follow the directions provided by your prescriber
