Ingredients: Sorry, i can't find that particular compound, but the active ingredients should be listed on the packaging, and your local pharmacist or your doctor should be able to answer any questions you may have. Good luck.

Hemorrhoid Cream: Check the label for the ingredients . If it was dispensed by "compounding" pharmacy , the pharmacist can give you the ingredients or formulation used.
