Overview

When piles cause deep internal discomfort, Germoloids Suppositories provide targeted relief from the inside out. With a combination of soothing ingredients and lidocaine (a local anaesthetic), they calm irritation, reduce swelling, and quickly numb pain — making sitting, walking, and daily life much easier.

Designed for internal haemorrhoids, Germoloids Suppositories are discreet, effective, and simple to use — helping you regain comfort and confidence without delay.

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


What are Germoloids Suppositories


Germoloids Suppositories deliver relief directly to the source of discomfort. They:

  • Soothe soreness and irritation inside the rectum
  • Shrink swollen haemorrhoidal tissue
  • Numb pain and itching fast with lidocaine
  • Ease bowel movements and reduce discomfort afterwards


Because they act internally, suppositories can be especially helpful when external creams or ointments aren’t enough.

Directions

  • Wash your hands before and after use.
  • Remove the suppository from its foil packaging.
  • Gently insert one suppository into the back passage (rectum).
  • Use morning and night, and after each bowel movement if needed.
  • Do not use for longer than 7 days unless instructed by your prescriber.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Germoloids 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):

  • Temporary stinging or irritation after insertion – usually mild and settles quickly.


Rare but serious (seek urgent medical advice):

  • Allergic reactions – particularly to lidocaine or other ingredients. Symptoms may include worsening redness, itching, rash, or swelling. In very rare cases, swelling of the face, lips, or difficulty breathing may occur and require immediate medical help.


Most side effects are mild and short-lived, and the majority of patients use Germoloids Suppositories without difficulty.

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

Warnings

Do not use Germoloids Suppositories if you:

  • Are allergic to lidocaine or any of the ingredients
  • Have a severe anal infection unless directed by a doctor


Other cautions:

  • For rectal use only — do not swallow
  • Not usually recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed
  • Stop using if symptoms persist beyond 7 days
