Anodesyn Ointment

What is it for?

Anodesyn Ointment is used for haemorrhoids (piles) - enlarged blood vessels which can be found in and around the intrarectal area (bottom). They don’t always cause discomfort, so can easily go unnoticed. However, symptoms that can be experienced include:

- bleeding after passing a stool.

- an itchy or painful anus.

- still feeling like you need to pass a stool after going to the toilet.

- lumps and swelling around the anus.

- mucus discharge after passing a stool.

Anodesyn Ointment contains two active ingredients:

Lidocaine- a local anaesthetic which helps to relieve pain in the affected area.

Allantoin- helps with the healing process to clear the irritation caused by haemorrhoids.

How to use:

- wash hands before and after use of Anodesyn Ointment.

- wash the affected area with tepid (lukewarm) water.

- dry the affected area and apply the ointment with your finger, gauze or lint.

- reapply ointment as required.
