Relief ointment - a remedy for the treatment and pain relief of hemorrhoids

09/29/2017Medications0

In the Russian Medicines Register (RLS), Relief suppositories are registered as a symptomatic drug with local analgesic and anti-inflammatory action.

Has registration number: P N013560/02-010313, name: Relief®.

The international non-proprietary name is phenylephrine.

It is used as a remedy that eliminates concomitant symptoms caused by varicose veins and vessels of the lower rectum, with proctitis, long-term non-healing injuries of the anus, as well as in the postoperative rehabilitation period after proctological ectomies.

Types of ointments Relief: Advance and Ultra

The German-Swiss pharmaceutical company (Bayer) produces three types of ointments and suppositories Relief with the so-called angioprotective

(against hemorrhoids) action. This:

• Relief – ointment and suppositories.
• Relief Advance - ointment and suppositories.
• Relief Ultra - ointment is not available, only suppositories.

The listed drugs have common indications for use - hemorrhoids, anal itching, fissures. But at the same time they differ in the set of active and additional components.

All types of Relief contain shark liver oil, as well as various vasoconstrictors, anabolic steroids, and agents for treating inflammation and stopping bleeding. Due to differences in composition, ointments are used to treat hemorrhoids at different stages.

• Simple Relief is prescribed at the beginning of the detection of hemorrhoids , when blood discharge appears during bowel movements. Moreover, if there are only external nodes, ointment is used. If hemorrhoidal cones are located inside, suppositories are placed. If both are available, use ointment and suppositories at the same time.
• If, in addition to blood discharge, pain appears, Relief Advance with an anabolic steroid is prescribed . Similarly, only suppositories for internal nodes, or ointment for external lumps. Or complex treatment - for several hemorrhoidal formations in the rectum and anus.
• Relief Ultra is the strongest drug, available exclusively in the form of suppositories, used for intraintestinal treatment of hemorrhoids in the presence of an inflammatory process (which is accompanied by pain, swelling, bleeding).

The choice of drug for treatment is carried out according to the symptoms of the disease, its clinical form and stage of development.

Warming ointments: Deep Relief and Fast Relief

The pharmaceutical industry offers two more drugs under the trade name Relief. These are Deep Relief and Fast Relief. They are fundamentally different from antihemorrhoidal ointments and are intended to warm deep tissues. However, sometimes their action is effective in eliminating blood stagnation in hemorrhoids.

Deep Relief is an ointment (gel) produced by a British pharmaceutical company. It is not intended to treat hemorrhoids. Designed for pain relief and treatment of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, arthrosis and osteoarthritis, as well as radiculitis, pinching, sprains).

The gel contains two active ingredients: ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory) and levomenthol (weak anesthetic). Therefore, Deep Relief provides anti-inflammatory, anti-edema, and analgesic effects.

Fast Relief is an ointment from an Indian manufacturer, which, according to the instructions, is a remedy for joint and muscle pain . It contains turpentine (turpentine), eucalyptus and clove oils, camphor, menthol, which stimulate blood circulation and provide a warming effect. As a result, the condition of tissues during inflammation, swelling, pinching improves, spasm and neurological pain decrease.

These compositions can be used in the treatment of external hemorrhoids in the initial stage (when there is no bleeding). Applying warming ointments to hemorrhoids promotes their resorption.

Important: warming ointments should not be used during the bleeding stage. They will increase blood flow and slow down the formation of a blood clot in the wound.

How are the different forms of the drug used?

In order to accurately determine which type of medication is most suitable in each specific case, you need to contact a medical institution.

But the general recommendations on how to use Relief Advance ointment and suppositories are as follows:

1. Before each use, be sure to wash the anal area with soap and then your hands.
2. To apply ointments, use the specially designed applicator included in the package. After completing the manipulations, rinse the device and store it in a protective cap.
3. Suppositories are inserted into the rectal canal with your finger; after finishing the procedure, you must carefully wash your hands with soap.

Insert into the rectum 4 times a day, that is, use no more than four suppositories per day
. Both ointment and suppositories are used three to four times a day. The procedure should be done in the morning and at night before bedtime; during the day, manipulation is performed after each bowel movement.

Relief - ointment at the beginning of hemorrhoids

The antihemorrhoidal effect of Relief ointment is ensured by its composition. What the ointment contains:

• Phenylephrine hydrochloride has a vasoconstrictor, and therefore anti-edematous, effect. 1 g of ointment contains only 2.5 mg or 0.25%.

Despite its low content, phenylephrine is named by the manufacturer as the main active ingredient. In addition to it, the ointment contains several other components, which are called auxiliary:

• Shark fish liver oil – 30 mg per 1 g ointment. It has anti- inflammatory, immunostimulating, regenerating effects
  .
  Reduces pain, accelerates the healing of cracks in the anus and rectum . Stimulates the action of local immunity.
• The fat base is petroleum jelly, wax and mineral oil (140 mg or 14% oil, 720 mg or 72% petroleum jelly, 12% natural beeswax). And also in small quantities - corn oil (0.2%), lanolin (2.3%), glycerol (2.5%), paraffin (0.5%), thyme oil (0.1%), vitamin E (0.05%).
• Preservatives – propyl parahydroxybenzoate (0.1%), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (0.2%).

Relief ointment and suppositories help reduce hemorrhoidal protrusions in the initial stage, before bleeding.

Pharmacological group

A drug with anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and vasoconstrictor effects for local use in proctology.

The medicinal effect of the ointment is achieved through the inclusion of active ingredients in its composition:

1. Shark liver oil ensures the normalization of regeneration processes and helps restore the flow of natural processes in the cells of inflamed tissues. The component reduces the risk of bleeding.
2. The main purpose of phenylephrine is to eliminate swelling and reduce the intensity of discomfort.

The undoubted advantage of such substances is the lack of absorption of the components into the systemic circulation. The product has an exclusively local effect and does not affect the course of biological processes in the human body.

Relief Advance - ointment with analgesic effect

The main difference between Relief Advance and just Relief is the content of an anabolic steroid (benzocaine). According to the instructions, it is called the main active ingredient. Therefore, the main purpose of Relief Advance is to relieve pain from hemorrhoidal cones and protrusions. The analgesic effect of Relief Advance is so well expressed that it is used during proctological examinations and during the recovery period after proctological operations .

Let's list the components of the ointment:

• Benzocaine - makes the neuron membrane impermeable, thereby stopping the transmission of nerve impulses and creating an analgesic effect. It is in the ointment - the maximum amount among other components, except for petroleum jelly (in 1 g - 200 mg or 20% shark oil). An overdose of benzocaine may cause drowsiness.
• Shark liver oil contains only 30 mg or 3%.
• Mineral oil - 120 mg or 12% oil.
• Vaseline - 610 mg or 61%.
• Also, traditional preservatives for many modern drugs are propylene glycol (20 mg or 2%), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (0.24%), sorbitan monostearate (1%), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (0.06%).

What it looks like, what it comes in

The medicine is a fatty, thick, creamy, yellowish-green color that has a distinct fishy odor . A plastic or aluminum tube is used as a packaging container for Relief, which must be packed in cardboard boxes.

In addition to it, an applicator is required for comfortable and painless insertion of the ointment into the anus, as well as a treatment guide. During storage, the cap on the tube must be closed at all times. In addition, it should be placed together with a cleanly washed and dried attachment in a box. The storage temperature should not rise above 25 ̊ C. Storage after the expiration date is unacceptable even if there is no change in color, smell, or density.

Relief Ultra - suppositories for the treatment of inflammation and pain

Relief Ultra is produced in the form of rectal suppositories. They contain the same set of auxiliary components and preservatives (shark liver oil, mineral oil, methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoate)

, the main formative component (cocoa butter, 95%) and
the main active ingredient is hydrocortisone (in the form of acetate).
Each suppository contains 10 mg (this is 0.5%), hydrocortisone and zinc (in the form of sulfate monohydrate - 11 mg or 0.55% in each suppository). Relief Ultra relieves inflammation. In addition to the treatment of hemorrhoids, it is used in the early postoperative period (after proctological operations during the first 4-5 days - to prevent the inflammatory process).

This drug has additional contraindications . Candles should not be used for any infection (bacterial, fungal, viral), including tuberculosis. And also during pregnancy, lactation and neoplasms. In case of overdose, suppositories greatly reduce immunity, form calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.

Note: since Relief Ultra is produced in the form of suppositories, its administration in the first days after surgery can be painful. Therefore, Ultra suppositories are combined with Advance ointment (first, the ointment is used to numb the pain, then the suppository is administered).

Contraindications and restrictions

Careful reading of the instructions for use of Relief candles is required, as there are a number of contraindications for their use:

• increased sensitivity to the components of the drug, manifested in the form of atopic allergy of a general and/or local nature;
• skin forms of tuberculosis, syphilis, viral and fungal diseases;
• increased susceptibility to thrombosis;
• severe forms of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, kidney and liver failure.

Relief ointment: instructions for use

The instructions for the ointment regulate its use in the treatment of any manifestations of internal and external hemorrhoids. Namely:

• For hemorrhoids (bumps, protrusions).
• For fissures in the anus.
• For itching and swelling of the skin of the anus.

Symptoms of itching, burning, and other signs of inflammation can appear not only with hemorrhoids. They may accompany other diseases of the rectum or perineum. Therefore, the use of Relief ointment is in demand after proctological operations, as well as for pain relief during rectal diagnostics.

Analogs

• Gepatrombin G. Due to this combined agent, the inflammatory process is reduced, an anticoagulant effect is provided, and swelling and exudation are reduced. When used during an acute attack of hemorrhoids, clinical manifestations are quickly eliminated and the pathological focus is more quickly restored. The average price ranges from 150-180 rubles .
• Hemorrhoidal ointment . Due to the belladonna contained in the composition, as well as substances such as epinephrine and bismuth, pain is eliminated and inflammation is reduced. These effects are achieved by relieving spasms, constricting blood vessels and rapid healing of lesions. The price ranges from 100 to 170 rubles .
• Ointment with sea buckthorn oil . Vitamins E and C contained in the ointment have a healing effect and also help reduce itching, swelling and pain. In an acute process, no pronounced effect occurs. The best effect is observed with anal fissures and bleeding external hemorrhoids. The price can range from 70 to 250 rubles .
• Ultraproct . This ointment is an analogue of Relief ointment. Stops only minor hemorrhoidal bleeding, heals anal fissures and relieves inflammation and pain. It is prohibited for use in the first trimester of pregnancy. The cost is 420-450 rubles .

Relief ointment or suppositories

The drug Relief is available in two forms - ointments and rectal suppositories. The choice of one form or another depends on the location of the hemorrhoidal cones and inflammation.

Ointment is a drug for the treatment of external nodes. Suppositories are a medicine for internal hemorrhoids . But the best treatment is not to choose between suppositories and ointments, but to combine their effects with each other

. Hemorrhoids know no boundaries between the walls of the rectum and the outer mucous membrane of the anus. External nodes are often accompanied by lumps in the rectum. Note: the analgesic effect of 1 suppository is equivalent to the effect of 1 g of ointment. And a vasoconstrictor - to 2 g of ointment (based on the content of benzocaine and shark liver oil). The combination of ointment and suppositories enhances their therapeutic effect by 95%.

Features of the use of Relief suppositories in pregnant women and children

Rectal suppositories Relief and Relief Advance can be used by pregnant and lactating women if the expected effect from their use exceeds all risks, and, of course, only as prescribed by the treating doctor. But today the pharmaceutical industry offers safer suppositories for the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease, such as Natalsid, Gepatrombin G, Posterizan and suppositories with sea buckthorn oil.

Candles from the Relief line are allowed to be used in children over 12 years of age with extreme caution and also as prescribed by a specialist.

How to use Relief ointment for hemorrhoids

The main use of Relief ointment is for hemorrhoids. This is an external treatment for adults. It can only be used by children after 12 years of age. Let us list the features of treatment with the drug.

• The ointment should be applied only to clean skin . Therefore, before doing this, you need to thoroughly wash the anus and gently wipe it (until dry).
• In order for the therapeutic effect to manifest itself as quickly and as best as possible, the ointment must be kept on the hemorrhoidal cones constantly . Therefore, the composition is applied in the morning and evening, as well as in the middle of the day (after visiting the toilet and defecation).
• How to apply the ointment? Remove the cap and attach the applicator to the tube. Use it to inject the ointment into the anus. After each use, rinse the applicator.

Important: thrombolytic disease is a contraindication to Relief treatment. The drug constricts blood vessels and increases the likelihood of blood clots in thick blood.

Contraindications

Before using Relief ointment, it is necessary to take into account the presence of all contraindications in order to prevent complications.

Relief should not be used if:

• Increased sensitivity to the main component.
• Increased risk of blood clots.
• History of thromboembolism.
• Granulocytopenia.

Caution should be exercised when using Relief simultaneously with:

How to use Relief ointment in cosmetology

Relief rectal ointment has found unexpected application in cosmetology. Indeed, if the composition of the ointment constricts blood vessels and regenerates new skin, then why shouldn’t it stimulate the restoration of facial skin cells and remove swelling? Despite the lack of direct recommendations to apply the ointment to the face (there is no such thing in the instructions), Relief is often used to prevent early wrinkles (mainly facial wrinkles), as well as bags under the eyes .

The use of Relief ointment for puffiness under the eyes is explained by its anti-constriction effect. As a result of vasoconstriction, the area of ​​swelling is reduced, and sagging “bags” are reduced.

Relief ointment is applied under the eyes at night . When first applied, the composition is mixed with baby cream. This way you can prevent an unexpected allergic reaction ( redness

or

if there is a burning sensation If everything went without any unpleasant sensations, next time the composition is applied without mixing with the cream.

Relief ointment for the face is not suitable for oily acne skin. An ointment composition is the best nourishment for dry skin of the face or hands. For such skin, you can use Relief ointment (for wrinkles and early aging).

A slight burning sensation, a not very pleasant smell - these are, perhaps, all the shortcomings of the ointment for cosmetic purposes.

Note: in cosmetology, an analogue of Relief ointments is actively used - Heparin composition. However, it has another effect - it accelerates blood flow and thereby treats swelling and inflammation.

Side effect

Relief ointment in the recommended dosage is well tolerated without causing negative consequences. The instructions describe the following side effects that occur in rare cases:

• blood clotting increases;
• migraine;
• dizziness;
• tachycardia;
• shortness of breath.

When an allergic reaction occurs, skin rashes, swelling, redness, and itching are observed. The use of the drug should be stopped immediately if side effects occur. You can take activated charcoal before consulting your doctor.

Pregnancy and lactation period

Relief has no obvious contraindications for the treatment of pregnant women (they have not been found over several years of using the ointment). However, the instructions recommend caution when using it during pregnancy . The traditional formulation is used that treatment with this drug during pregnancy is permitted when the risk from the disease is greater than the risk of possible complications from treatment.

Relief ointment during breastfeeding is also used only when absolutely necessary (the composition penetrates in small quantities into breast milk, its effect on the development of the child has not been fully studied).

Note: an allergic reaction (redness, rash, dermatitis in the anal area) is possible, but rare.

What are the contraindications?

The instructions for the drug prohibit the use of “Relief” suppositories of any series for the treatment of children under 12 years of age, late pregnant women, or those with allergies to the components in the composition of the medication. And also for such ailments as:

The drug cannot be used for tuberculosis.

• hypertension;
• thromboembolism;
• depression;
• heart rhythm disturbance;
• tuberculosis;
• diabetes;
• excess sodium levels in the blood;
• granulocytopenia;
• fungal infection;
• thyroid diseases;
• Itsenko-Cushing syndrome.

Analogs of Relief ointment

One of the features of ointments with the trade name Relief (Ultra, Advance) is a fairly high price. This forces us to look for other drugs with similar effects and a more affordable price.

One of the main analogues of Relief is Heparin ointment . Relief or Heparin ointment - which is better?

Heparin is a substance that accelerates blood flow and thereby treats various inflammations, swelling, and bruising. The use of heparin for hemorrhoids is possible at the beginning of the disease, when hemorrhoids have already formed, but are not yet bleeding. In later stages, when there are open wounds and areas of bleeding, the use of heparin will increase bleeding.

Note: one of the contraindications to the use of heparin ointment is that it cannot be applied to open wounds and cannot be used immediately after injury (impact, bruise).

Other analogues include suppositories and Proctosan ointment (with the analgesic lidocaine).

Indications for treatment

Relief Pro is recommended for the treatment of acute and chronic hemorrhoids. The cream is used for the external form of the disease, and suppositories for the internal form.

Effective for thrombosis of external hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Also used in the complex treatment of anal eczema and proctitis.

Can be used in preoperative preparation and postoperative period for patients.

Release from pharmacies and storage

Relief suppositories are available in pharmacies over the counter. Consumers are required to understand the dangers of unauthorized use of medicines. The pharmacist does not have to explain all possible consequences. On average, according to online pharmacies, the cost of a package of 12 candles is about 370 rubles (+ postal delivery).

How to store Relief candles: conditions and expiration date

Storage rules and expiration dates are indicated on the back or side of the packaging. It is recommended to store the drug in its box, do not open the blisters, and ensure the temperature is no higher than 27 degrees. The medicine can be used for two years from the date of manufacture.

Compound

The main active ingredient of the drug is benzocaine. Has a wide spectrum of action. The main property of benzocaine is that it is an anesthetic; the substance actively suppresses the occurrence of painful sensations. The advantage of benzicaine is that it begins to show activity within 10-15 minutes after contact with the skin. Because of this, the substance is taken as the basis for many preparations for external use.

The ointment also includes:

• ;
• petrolatum;
• methyl parahydroxybenzoate;
• propyl parahydroxybenzoate;
• sorbitan monostearate.

The candles contain the following additional components:

• cocoa bean butter;
• corn starch;
• propyl parahydroxybenzoate;
• methyl parahydroxybenzoate.

Indications and contraindications

Indications for the use of relief ointment and suppositories are usually contained in the instructions, but the doctor can prescribe the drug based on his own considerations. In this case, the indications indicated in the instructions may not include the disease for which the doctor recommended the drug.

Indications for taking the drugs are as follows:

• hemorrhoids of any stage;
• presence of anal fissures;
• constipation;
• skin diseases - eczema;
• pain in the anal area;
• proctitis

Despite very specific indications for use, sometimes doctors do not prescribe relief suppositories for use due to the fact that the drug has contraindications, which are usually contained in the instructions:

• indications include allergies to the components of the drug, the presence of thromboembolic disease, granulocytopenia;
• children under 12 years of age;
• tuberculosis;
• hypernatremia;
• diabetes mellitus with complications;

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are relative contraindications for taking the drug, since in some cases they can be prescribed by the doctor's decision.

In some cases, contraindications include heart disease. Side effects when using Relief for hemorrhoids are rare, but with prolonged use they can develop:

• allergic reactions;
• itching in the area where the ointment is applied;
• spread of allergies to other parts of the body.

If side effects develop while using the drug, you should consult your doctor for advice. He will most likely choose another treatment.

If a person has hypertension, then he should treat Ultra with extreme caution, since the medication tends to greatly increase blood pressure

Causes of hemorrhoids

I'll try to tell you how I got my illness. I won't describe anything unusual. Most likely, hemorrhoids were acquired due to an unhealthy lifestyle. I work as a manager in a company specializing in the sale of metal-plastic structures. I move little, sit a lot and often get nervous.

If we add to this the large amount of strong coffee consumed per day and poor nutrition, then we have an almost complete list of indications for the use of Relief ointment. The only thing missing is genetic predisposition and obesity)))

I strongly recommend that people with a similar life schedule closely monitor their health. It is very important to start treatment in the early stages. Otherwise, you can easily wait until the need for surgical intervention. Judging by the reviews, Relief ointment is most effective at the very beginning of the disease, when problems manifest themselves as itching, burning and inflammation of the skin. If you miss these signs and wait until the nodes fall out, then you can safely prepare for surgery.

I made an appointment with a proctologist on time. Of course, there was embarrassment, but at least I avoided a bunch of unnecessary problems. That's what the doctor told me.

“Hemorrhoids are a common disease.
I don’t understand why people are so embarrassed about this disease. In the initial stages, treating inflammation is quite easy. There are many drugs that improve blood circulation and restore normal condition. I recommend Relief and a special diet. Usually this is enough...” Sergey Viktorovich, proctologist, Moscow

In general, the therapy is not very difficult, so I decided to start treatment immediately.

Similar medications

There are such types of the described medication as Relief Advance and Relief Ultra . The first type of product is characterized by the presence of benzocaine, which is given first place in the instructions.

This anesthetic begins to act immediately after application, having the property of relieving severe pain, which is its main distinguishing feature from the usual Relief ointment. Therefore, when prescribing it, the main goal, in addition to the therapeutic effect, is to suppress painful sensations. A patient’s recovery after surgery or a proctological examination often requires the use of Relief Advance due to its high-quality effective pain relief.

Relief Ultra is available only in the form of suppositories. It is prescribed mainly in cases of severe inflammatory processes of hemorrhoidal cones, in which even a feverish state is possible. It does not contain shark liver extract or phenylephrine. But the hydrocortisone present powerfully relieves inflammation and allergies, constricts blood vessels, relieves pain, and removes swelling; Zinc sulfate, which has an antiseptic and drying effect, heals wounds; Cocoa bean oil helps relieve pain and eliminate inflammation.

There are no other similar substances similar to Relief in terms of medicinal composition. On the pharmacological market there are products that, having a different set of constituent elements, can replace it when carrying out treatment. These are Proctosan , Gepatrombin G , Hemorol .

Feature of the active substance

Suppositories and ointment for hemorrhoids Relief contain shark liver oil. This component is considered unique because it has a number of positive properties. The liver is obtained from sharks - they are the only inhabitants that do not suffer from cancer.

Shark liver extract is an effective means for carrying out preventive measures in oncology to combat malignant tumors in the early stages.

Shark liver oil contains substances in the form of:

• squalene. It belongs to hydrocarbons. Its effect is aimed at strengthening immune function. When this substance enters the body, there is an active production of immune cellular structures that fight pathogenic agents at the site of infection. Squalene also strengthens vascular walls and stops bleeding;
• squalamine. This is an organic compound that is similar to modern antibiotics. Its effect is aimed at destroying viral and bacterial agents. In this case, no side effects are observed;
• alkyl glyceride. An organic compound that helps fight infection and inflammation. Alkyl glyceride helps strengthen soft tissue structures and prevent rupture of blood vessels. Thanks to this component, even large hemorrhoids can be resolved.

Shark oil quickly and effectively treats varicose veins.

Relief suppositories are prescribed for bleeding hemorrhoids; they promote the healing of cracks and wounds, relieve the inflammatory process and painful syndrome.

Use of ointment in pure and combined form

A pharmaceutical product containing shark liver extract can be used independently or included in multi-component care mixtures. In both cases, you will be able to obtain a noticeable anti-aging effect, but the use of combined products will allow you to achieve more lasting results.

Independent use of the drug

Before using the anti-wrinkle ointment in its pure form, it is important not to forget to cleanse your facial skin with mild cosmetics and wash with clean water. After this, problem areas are treated with a small amount of the drug, performing soft tapping movements with the pads of the fingers.

After applying the ointment, you must wait 5-10 minutes. At the end of the procedure, its remnants are removed with a dry cloth.

As part of other products

Many cosmetologists approve of adding Relief to facial moisturizers. In this case, you can get an effective remedy to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and eliminate existing age-related changes.

To enhance the rejuvenating properties of the cream, ointment is added to it in a proportion of 1 tsp. per 100 g. The combined product can be used daily, but not more than once a day. It is best to carry out anti-aging procedures with cream before bed.

If the skin on your face is prone to oiliness and acne, you should thoroughly clean it a few hours after applying the ointment. Otherwise, the likelihood of clogged pores and the development of inflammatory processes increases.

Release form

The manufacturer indicates that this medicine is sold in two variations in the form of suppositories and ointments. Inexpensive and effective medications help in the treatment of internal and external hemorrhoids.

Relief rectal suppositories have a convenient shape for insertion into the anus. In appearance they look like a torpedo. The front part of the suppository has a pointed corner, which ensures accurate penetration of the medicine into the rectum. On the other hand, a candle has a flat protrusion. This allows the product to be firmly fixed in the intestines and prevent it from falling out.

The package contains 12 pieces. Each candle is in a contoured reflective shell. The suppositories are hard to the touch. When they enter the intestinal canal when exposed to temperature, they begin to dissolve.

Relief cream has a thick consistency with a yellowish tint. The drug is sold in aluminum tubes of 15 grams.

Storage conditions are as follows. The medicine should be kept in the refrigerator. Before use, you should take out the medications and apply them 15-20 minutes later. The shelf life is two years.

The average cost of medication ranges from 380 to 420 rubles.

Reviews of ointment for hemorrhoids Relief

Since we're talking about customer reviews, I'll give you a couple of examples from the Internet. The reputation of the external product is good. There is a negative, but it is usually associated with the low effectiveness of the ointment in the later stages.

“I used Relief strictly according to the instructions, but the loss of knots when going to the toilet did not disappear. I had to go to the hospital and sign up for surgery...”

If it comes to constant protrusion from the anus, then no cream will help. Most likely, this is already the third or even fourth stage.

“I didn’t delay and at the first symptoms of hemorrhoids I started rubbing Relief into the problem area. The procedure, I’ll tell you, is not pleasant, but I noticed the result after 3 days. The itching and burning went away. I hope that the effect will be permanent"

Feedback from people confirmed that the results of treatment last for a long time. The main thing is to change your lifestyle and start eating normally (it is important to get rid of constipation).
