Drug Details

This medication is used to temporarily relieve swelling, burning, pain, and itching caused by hemorrhoids.

This effect decreases swelling and discomfort. Some products may also contain substances (such as cocoa butter, hard fat, mineral oil, shark liver oil) that form a protective barrier to prevent too much irritating contact with stool.
