Overview

If internal piles are causing constant discomfort, Anusol Suppositories deliver soothing relief exactly where it’s needed. Designed to be inserted directly into the back passage, they work from the inside to reduce swelling, calm irritation, and ease pain — giving you fast, targeted relief from internal haemorrhoids.

Discreet, effective, and trusted by many, Anusol Suppositories can help restore comfort and make everyday activities easier again.

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


What are Anusol Suppositories


Anusol Suppositories are specially designed for the treatment of internal haemorrhoids (piles). They contain soothing and protective ingredients that:

  • Reduce swelling and inflammation
  • Soothe pain, soreness, and itching
  • Protect delicate tissues in the rectum


Suppositories are ideal when creams and ointments don’t provide enough relief, or when symptoms are mainly internal.

Directions

  • Wash your hands before and after use.
  • Remove the suppository from its packaging.
  • Gently insert one suppository into the back passage (rectum), preferably at night and after a bowel movement.
  • Can be used up to 3 times daily, as directed by your prescriber.

Side Effects

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

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

  • Mild burning or stinging after insertion – usually temporary and settles quickly as the body adjusts.


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

  • Local irritation or rash – generally mild, but stop using the suppositories if symptoms persist.


Most side effects are mild and short-lived, and the majority of patients use Anusol Suppositories without any problems.

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

Warnings

Do not use Anusol Suppositories if you:

  • Are allergic to any of the ingredients
  • Have severe or unexplained rectal bleeding without medical advice


Other cautions:

  • Only for rectal (internal) use — do not swallow
  • Not usually recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your prescriber
  • Seek medical advice if symptoms persist after 7 days of treatment
