Description

Germoloids Cream is used to relieve the symptoms of pain, swelling and irritation associated with internal and external haemorrhoids and anal itching (pruritus ani).

Suitable for

It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over.

How to use

It is not recommended for children under the age of 12 years, unless it is used under the supervision of a doctor.

Adults and children aged 12 years and over:
1. Before using the cream for the first time, check that the tube seal is not broken.
2. Remove the seal by peeling from the tag.
3. For external haemorrhoids, apply the cream directly to the affected area. For internal haemorrhoids, screw the applicator nozzle onto the tube and smear some of the cream on the outside of the nozzle to ease application. Carefully insert the applicator into the opening of the anus. Gently squeeze the tube whilst slowly withdrawing the nozzle so that the cream moves gently up the anus.
4. Replace the cap firmly after use. Always keep the tube of cream, cap and nozzle clean.

Apply the cream to the affected area at least twice a day with a minimum of 3 to 4 hours between applications. Further applications can be made at any time of the day, and are particularly recommended after a bowel movement. Do not use the cream more than 4 times in any 24 hour period.

The cream is for use in and around the anus only. Do not put the cream in your mouth or swallow it. If some of the cream is swallowed accidentally, tell your doctor straight away or contact your nearest Accident and Emergency Department.

DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED DOSE.
