Haemorrhoids (or piles, as the condition is commonly known) are an extremely common health problem, affecting around 80% of people at some point in their lives. Haemorrhoids occur when the veins in the anus or rectum become swollen, and are typically caused by increased pressure inside the lower rectum. This means there’s an increased risk if you’re already suffering from constipation or you tend to strain during bowel movements.
Anyone can develop haemorrhoids, but they’re more common in patients over the age of 50, pregnant women, and those who are overweight or obese. Left untreated, the itching, pain, and bleeding caused by the condition may even progress to more serious health problems, such as anal fissures, fistulas, and rectal prolapse. Thankfully though, there are a range of treatments available to treat the condition before it advances, and Anusol Plus HC Ointment is one of the most popular options among our patients.
Anusol Plus HC is a powerful, prescription-only medication that contains a combination of active ingredients, including zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, and balsam peru. These ingredients work together to reduce pain and itching and promote healing. Anusol also contains hydrocortisone acetate — a corticosteroid that helps to reduce swelling. The treatment is available in two forms — a topical ointment, and a suppository. Both types contain the same active ingredients and work in the same way.
If you’re suffering from haemorrhoids and are weighing up your treatment options, Anusol Ointment could offer the relief you need. Don’t just take our word for it though; we've gathered a collection of verified reviews from our patients so you can see what real users have to say. To keep things clear, we’ve also highlighted some key points and takeaways from their reviews and provided some helpful links.

The time it takes for Anusol Plus HC to work can vary depending on the severity of your haemorrhoids and your individual response to the medication. In general, most people will start to notice an improvement in their symptoms within a few days of starting treatment, and one reviewer commented that it “relieved symptoms fast”.
Used as directed, you should notice a reduction in haemorrhoid size and a decrease in pain within a week.
Anusol is used to treat haemorrhoids, specifically the itching and swelling around the rectum and anus that accompanies the condition. The gentle astringent agent contained in the ointment helps to reduce the swelling of haemorrhoidal tissue, giving your haemorrhoids the chance to heal quickly. In most cases, your haemorrhoids will completely clear up within a week or two.
