Germoloids Suppositories are used to relieve the symptoms of pain, swelling and irritation associated with piles (haemorrhoids) and anal itching (pruritus ani).

What the Active Ingredients Do

Zinc oxide has astringent properties, which help shrink swelling. It also helps soothe and protect the area around the back passage from damage and has mild antiseptic properties. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic which helps to soothe swelling, pain and irritation and relieve itching. The suppository base acts as a lubricant and emollient to help the passing of stools and reduce the straining which is bad for piles(haemorrhoids).
