Haemorrhoids Treatment in Burton on Trent Pharmacy
Quick Relief with Cinchocaine Hydrochloride 0.5% w/w & Hydrocortisone 0.5% w/w
Haemorrhoids — commonly known as piles — can be uncomfortable and painful. If you’re experiencing itching, swelling, burning or bleeding around the anus, effective relief is available at our Burton on Trent pharmacy.
We supply Cinchocaine Hydrochloride 0.5% w/w / Hydrocortisone 0.5% w/w cream/ointment under a Patient Group Direction (PGD), so you can obtain treatment directly from our pharmacist without a doctor’s prescription or appointment.
This combination cream helps reduce pain, inflammation and itching associated with both internal and external haemorrhoids.
What Are Haemorrhoids (Piles)?
Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the lower rectum or around the anus. They can develop due to:
- Straining during bowel movements
- Chronic constipation or diarrhoea
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Sitting for long periods
- Aging
- Heavy lifting or strain
Symptoms may include:
- Pain or discomfort
- Itching or irritation
- Bleeding during bowel movements
- A lump or swelling around the anus
- Mucous discharge
If left untreated, symptoms may worsen and affect daily activities. Early treatment can significantly reduce discomfort and improve healing.
What Is Cinchocaine + Hydrocortisone Cream?
The combination of Cinchocaine Hydrochloride 0.5% w/w and Hydrocortisone 0.5% w/w is a widely accepted topical treatment for moderate haemorrhoids and related symptoms.
How It Works
- Cinchocaine Hydrochloride 0.5% w/w— a local anaesthetic that helps relieve anal pain and burning.
- Hydrocortisone 0.5% w/w— a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling and itching.
Together, they provide rapid symptom relief while reducing inflammation and discomfort in the anorectal area.
