For Hemorrhoids "My problem was affecting my work and livelihood. Out of desperation, I started trying different anal medication. I probably should have seen a doctor right, but this is embarrassing. Preparation H has given me hope. I guess I have hemorrhoids?"

For Hemorrhoids "I purchased a new tube of Prep H ointment this week. This product has definitely changed for the worse! HORRIBLE burning! I have used Prep H for 25+ years with relief, but NO more! 1) I compared the ingredients from a couple of old tubes to the new tube, and most of the active ingredients flipped flopped to the inactive ingredients and vice versa. 2) Purchased an expensive oversized box with a small tube inside-deceiving marketing. 3) Internal insert tube is approximately 75% smaller. What's even worse is-as a patient I have sense not to use it anymore, BUT as a caretaker using this on the elderly invalids in ill health that cannot speak for themselves, if this is being used in nursing homes... it needs to be re-evaluated. If these new or flipped flopped ingredient percentages have changed and caused this burning, please research why this happened. If others are having this problem, please speak up and give a review."
