Germoloids Suppositories for Haemorrhoids Suppositories Treatment

You can use Germoloids Suppositories to treat internal haemorrhoids and provide relief from associated symptoms. These rectal suppositories contain zinc oxide and hydrocortisone acetate, which work together to reduce inflammation and provide soothing relief. The suppository format allows the medication to be delivered directly to the affected area inside your rectum.

Each suppository is designed to dissolve at body temperature, releasing the active ingredients where they are needed most. This targeted approach makes them particularly suitable for treating internal haemorrhoids that cannot be reached with external creams or ointments. You can find additional treatment options in our haemorrhoids and piles collection.

How Germoloids Suppositories Work

The hydrocortisone acetate in these suppositories is a mild corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and itching associated with haemorrhoids. Zinc oxide acts as an astringent and protective agent, helping to shrink swollen tissues and form a protective barrier over the affected area.

When you insert the suppository, it begins to melt due to your body heat, allowing the active ingredients to coat the internal haemorrhoidal tissue. This direct contact ensures that the medication can work effectively at the site of inflammation and discomfort.

Who Can Use These Suppositories

These haemorrhoids suppositories are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age who are experiencing symptoms of internal haemorrhoids. You should consider using them if you have difficulty reaching the affected area with topical treatments or if you prefer the convenience of internal medication delivery.

The suppositories are particularly helpful for people who experience:

Internal haemorrhoidal pain and discomfort
Rectal itching and irritation
Swelling of internal haemorrhoidal tissue
Difficulty applying external treatments effectively

Why Choose Suppository Treatment

Suppositories offer several advantages over other treatment forms for internal haemorrhoids. They provide direct medication delivery to the affected area without the mess or inconvenience of creams that may not stay in place. The suppository format also ensures that the full dose of medication reaches the treatment site.

Unlike external applications, suppositories work from inside your rectum, making them ideal for treating internal haemorrhoids that cannot be easily accessed. They also tend to provide longer-lasting relief as the medication is released gradually as the suppository dissolves.

Storage and Handling Requirements

You should store these suppositories in a cool, dry place below 25°C to prevent them from melting or becoming too soft to handle. Keep them in their original packaging until you are ready to use them, and always wash your hands thoroughly before and after insertion.

If the suppositories become too soft to handle due to warm temperatures, you can place them in the refrigerator for a short time to firm them up before use. However, avoid storing them in the refrigerator long-term unless specifically instructed to do so.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Use Germoloids Suppositories

You should insert one suppository into your rectum twice daily, preferably in the morning and evening, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Before insertion, wash your hands thoroughly and remove the suppository from its wrapper. If the suppository feels too soft, hold it under cold water for a few moments or refrigerate briefly to firm it up.

Lie on your side with your knees drawn up towards your chest, or stand with one foot raised on a chair. Gently insert the suppository pointed end first into your rectum, pushing it in about 2-3 centimetres with your finger. Try to retain the suppository for as long as possible to allow the medication to work effectively.

When to Use and Treatment Duration

You can use these suppositories for up to 7 days for the relief of haemorrhoid symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen after this time, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist for further advice. For best results, try to use the suppositories at regular intervals and avoid straining during bowel movements.

You should ideally insert the suppository after a bowel movement when the rectal area is clean. If you need to have a bowel movement shortly after insertion, try to delay it for at least 30 minutes to allow some absorption of the medication. Wash your hands thoroughly after each use.

Possible Side Effects of Germoloids Suppositories

Like all medicines, Germoloids Suppositories can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people tolerate these suppositories well, but you should be aware of potential reactions that may occur with rectal corticosteroid use. If you experience persistent irritation or worsening symptoms, you should seek advice from healthcare professionals or explore other creams and ointments that may be more suitable.

The most commonly reported side effects include local irritation, burning sensation, or increased discomfort at the application site. These effects are usually mild and temporary, occurring as your body adjusts to the medication.

Possible side effects may include:

Local burning or stinging sensation
Increased rectal irritation
Skin thinning with prolonged use
Allergic reactions such as rash or itching
Temporary increase in pain or discomfort
Local skin discolouration
Secondary infection at the application site
Delayed wound healing
Contact dermatitis
Rectal bleeding (if not present before treatment)
Systemic absorption effects with excessive use
Worsening of existing infections

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
