Pharmacist FAQs Answered

What Anusol Suppositories are for?

Anusol Suppositories are used to relieve the pain of internal piles (haemorrhoids), anal fissures, and irritation around the back passage. They soothe discomfort, soften swelling, and protect sore areas. Some of the ingredients also inhibit bacterial growth, which can assist healing.

These suppositories do not contain steroids. They are to be used if you experience mild or moderate symptoms and would like a non-steroid suppository or if you are contraindicated to take steroids like hydrocortisone.

Who Can Use Anusol Suppositories?

These are for children and adults aged over 12 years. Do not use in anyone who is allergic to any ingredient. Do not use unless you are pregnant or breastfeeding and your doctor tells you to use this product.

If you experience any of the following, do not use the product and consult a doctor:

  • Rectal bleeding that has not been diagnosed as piles
  • Blood in the stool
  • Chronic pain or bowel habit alteration

How to Use Anusol Suppositories Correctly?

Insert one suppository into the anus at night, in the morning, and after every bowel movement – a total of three times a day. Insert it in as far as necessary so that it stays in, but do not push hard. Don't swallow.

If you miss a dose, just take one when you remember. Do not take more than 3 within 24 hours.

Some stinging on insertion is normal. But if you have burning, stinging, or an allergic reaction, stop using and call a pharmacist or doctor.

Can I Take These with Other Medicines?

Anusol Suppositories are unlikely to interact with other medicines, but it’s always best to check if:

  • You are using other treatments for piles (to avoid doubling up on ingredients)
  • You are taking medicines for bowel conditions or rectal inflammation

Show the packaging to your pharmacist if you’re unsure.

Helpful Tips to Manage and Prevent Piles

  • Eat a high-fibre diet (fruit, vegetables, whole grains)
  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • Avoid straining when going to the toilet
  • Stay active and don't sit for extended periods
  • Do not delay in going to the toilet when you feel the urge

Suppositories manage symptoms, but piles could come back, especially if you are constipated. If your symptoms last longer than 7 days or get worse, see your doctor.
