Germoloids Cream – 25g

Description

Germoloids Cream – 25gram

Germoloids Cream is used to relieve the discomfort caused by haemorrhoids (piles), including itching, soreness, and inflammation around the back passage. It can also help soothe the pain associated with anal fissures and other minor ano-rectal conditions.

⸻

How It Works

Germoloids Cream contains two active ingredients that work together to provide relief. Zinc oxide forms a protective barrier over the affected skin, helping to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic that temporarily numbs the area to relieve pain and itching quickly.

⸻

Directions for Use

For adults and children aged 12 years and over: apply the cream to the affected area up to 4 times daily, including after each bowel movement. Wash and dry the area gently before applying. Germoloids Cream is for external use only — do not insert into the back passage unless advised by a doctor. This product is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
