What is Germoloids Suppositories

The most effective ingredients in Germoloid Suppositories are zinc oxide and lidocaine hydrochloride. With its astringent properties, zinc oxide shrinks the inflammation associated with the condition.

How effective is Germoloids Suppositories?

Germoloids Suppositories is a useful product for relieving and treating haemorrhoids. According to the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, suppositories containing astringents such as zinc oxide produce a physical barrier on the affected skin. It prevents the contact of such area with aggravating solid or liquid waste. Irritation can thus no longer take place in the perianal area. Suppositories that contain astringents causes clumping of the anal skin, subsequently drying it and relieving its burning and itching.

How do Germoloids Suppositories work?

Other than soothing hemorrhoidal pain, swelling and irritation, it also relieves itching. Aside from these, Germoloids Suppositories work as a lubricant that helps in the better passage of stool when moving. This medicine provides inside and out relief from the symptoms of haemorrhoids.
