Overview
Germoloids Ointment contains a combination of active ingredients, including a local anaesthetic and soothing agents, which work together to relieve the symptoms of haemorrhoids. The ointment forms a protective barrier over sensitive skin while helping to numb pain and calm irritation.
It is suitable for external use and can also be applied internally using the rectal nozzle provided. The ointment format is particularly helpful when longer-lasting relief is needed, such as overnight, or when the affected area is very sore or irritated.
Used as directed and alongside lifestyle measures such as increasing fibre intake and fluid consumption, Germoloids Ointment helps improve comfort during haemorrhoid flare-ups.
