About the product
Germoloids Haemorrhoids and Piles Cream is a topical treatment that helps relieve the discomfort, itching, and swelling associated with haemorrhoids (piles) and anal itching. It contains zinc oxide, which has a soothing, protective effect and helps reduce irritation, and lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that quickly numbs pain and itching. The cream works by calming inflammation, easing soreness, and forming a protective barrier over the affected area to promote healing. It can be applied externally or internally using the supplied applicator, usually several times daily as needed. Germoloids Cream is suitable for short-term use and should be used as directed on the packaging.
