Pharmacist’s advice

Apply Hemorex after a bowel movement and gentle cleansing with lukewarm water. Rough toilet paper and fragranced or alcohol-containing wipes may worsen irritation.

Long-term control depends on keeping the stool soft and regular. Increase water, fruit, vegetables and soluble fibre gradually.

Avoid prolonged sitting on the toilet and excessive straining. Do not postpone the urge to pass stool, as harder stool may further irritate hemorrhoids and fissures.

Hemorex is primarily intended for external care. Symptoms arising from internal hemorrhoids may require another product form or a proctological assessment.

Rectal bleeding should not be assumed to come from hemorrhoids without assessment, particularly when mixed with the stool or accompanied by changes in bowel habits or unexplained weight loss.
