(Topical Relief for Hemorrhoid-Related Itching, Inflammation, and Discomfort)

Dual-Action Ointment for Hemorrhoidal Symptom Relief and Skin Calming

This Hemorrhoid Prep Ointment, compounded with Hydrocortisone 2.5% and Pramoxine 1%, delivers targeted, fast-acting relief for patients experiencing the burning, itching, swelling, and discomfort commonly associated with internal and external hemorrhoids. Formulated in a 30-gram topical ointment, this combination therapy is a reliable, non-surgical option used by clinicians in proctology, gastroenterology, and primary care settings.

Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation at the site of hemorrhoidal irritation, while Pramoxine, a local anesthetic, offers rapid numbing of sensitive perianal tissue. Together, they provide comprehensive, symptomatic relief that supports tissue comfort and healing.

How It Works

This formulation works on two levels:

1. Hydrocortisone 2.5% – Inflammation and Swelling Control

Hydrocortisone is a low-to-mid potency corticosteroid that reduces local immune response, helping to:

• Decrease swelling and redness

• Calm itching and irritation

• Inhibit inflammatory mediators in hemorrhoidal veins and surrounding tissues

• Improve comfort during defecation and throughout the day

This helps prevent further trauma and promotes the healing of inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue.

2. Pramoxine 1% – Fast-Acting Anesthetic Relief

Pramoxine is a topical anesthetic that works by blocking sodium channels in nerve endings, stopping the transmission of pain and itch signals. It acts locally and begins working within minutes of application.

• Provides numbing relief from stinging and burning

• Reduces scratching and irritation that can delay healing

• Minimizes discomfort associated with wiping, sitting, or bowel movements

Together, these ingredients relieve the primary symptoms of hemorrhoids, including pain, itch, inflammation, and tenderness—offering comfort without systemic side effects.

Indications

This ointment is indicated for symptomatic relief of:

• External hemorrhoids

• Internal hemorrhoids (if applied intrarectally)

• Perianal itching and irritation

• Post-hemorrhoid procedure inflammation

• Anal eczema or dermatitis

It may also be used for rectal inflammation due to other causes such as fissures, contact irritation, or minor infections (under physician guidance).

Dosing and Administration

• Recommended Use: Apply a small amount (pea-sized) to the affected area up to 3 times daily, preferably after bowel movements and at bedtime

• Method: Apply externally with a clean fingertip or internally with an applicator (if directed)
