This ointment is mainly suitable for hemorrhoids on the outside or near the anus (external hemorrhoids and anal fissures). Suppositories or suppository ointments are recommended for hemorrhoids inside the anus.
*This product is a Designated Class 2 OTC Drug containing steroid ingredients. Please read the dosage, administration, and precautions carefully and consult a pharmacist or registered seller before use.
⭐ Four features
Compared to the conventional Boraginol series, this premium formula contains more active ingredients. Six ingredients including the steroid prednisolone acetate ester (Weak rank) effectively address painful hemorrhoid symptoms.
Six ingredients work together: steroid to suppress inflammation, local anesthetic to relieve pain and itching, antihistamine to reduce itching, disinfectant and bactericidal ingredient, tissue repair ingredient to aid wound healing, and blood circulation promoter to improve congestion.
Take an appropriate amount from the tube and apply directly to the affected area or spread on gauze and apply to the anal area. It can be used precisely for symptoms such as external hemorrhoids and anal fissures near the anus.
Isopropyl methylphenol (IPMP) disinfects the affected area and suppresses bacterial growth. The "disinfecting" effect, which is not present in suppositories or suppository ointments (at insertion), is a feature of the ointment, helping to keep the affected area hygienic while aiding recovery.
