A member asked:
What is a compound hemorrhoid cream? does it work better than regular creams? why would a doctor prescribe it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: "Compound" usually means that the doctor has directed the pharmacy to make or "compound" a product out of several ingredients which he must feel is better and/or different than what is offered by OTC products. Thus unable to answer the question. You could ask the pharmacists or doctor who wrote the RX.
