A member asked:
I have a small external hemeroid. is it possible for me to get medication over the counter from a pharmacy without a script from a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes these include preparation H with and without hydrocortisone generally the one with hydrocortisone is more effective. To treat hemorrhoids: Taking a bulk fiber laxative like Metamucil or Citrucel , drinking 2 L of fluid daily, lubricating the anal canal with Vaseline before bowel movements,Cleaning the anus with Tuck pads after bowel movement Then applying preparation H With Cortisone
