For Hemorrhoids "Anusol worked for me. I used this for a good week taking 3 times a day. But it was worth it cause it's back under control for me now then before I started using this. I was miserable and I'm doing better now."

For Hemorrhoids "Alright, I'll re-review, I want more! I hate suppositories, but my internal piles are not being treated by Anusol Plus gel, even if I use a lot, both in and outside. One suppository and I have hours of relief. After three days, I can finally clean up. It's a mess in my room, and I couldn't bend over to clean. I can't believe I want more suppositories daily. Right now, it's just one... for two months. It's so effective for the deep internal piles I can't reach with the applicator or enough gel with my finger. It sucks to use, but after 15 minutes, what a relief! Finally! I have used pretty much everything, lidocaine and Prep H, etc."

For Hemorrhoids "Firstly, it's pretty expensive per dose. Good thing it's once per day. The 'plus' gel is 5 times daily. I have some near prolapsing piles. They are hard to insert past. I definitely need to use a little dab of Anusol Plus gel or something as a lubricant. It hurt trying to get past and completely inside. I've been using my finger every day for a year. I know what I'm doing. Once it was in, it turned sideways and felt a little uncomfortable for 5 minutes. At least it wasn't coming back out! It dissolved. I was hoping for a bit more pain relief. I can sit and walk. It's much better than nothing or over-the-counters. Maybe in a few days, or once this box of 30 is gone, I will not be in pain. This has been crippling. Any relief is welcome. It needs a dab of lubricant when your piles are very large and block the way."

For Hemorrhoids "I have left a couple of reviews. Where I live, they are quite expensive. It has been 30°C. The limit on the box. You have to keep these cool and dry. Some of mine became misshapen... In the heat, they are breaking in half as I open the foil. Because of the price, I use both pieces, with jagged edges. It is painful. Covered in Anusol Plus gel. 10 minutes for them to dissolve, and I can sit again. Keep these high, cool, and dry. I put 2 in the fridge in the 'low humidity' drawer. Hopefully, they will be more solid. They are melting in my hands in 10 seconds after I open the foil. Keep these cool and dry. I might try the freezer too. They can't become moist, though. A bit of a nuisance, I was taking care of the box, but it's been too hot. It also only works for 3 hours. Then I am in a lot of pain again. (Passing out)"

For Hemorrhoids "Hmm OK, there are not many reviews. It only lasts 3 hours for me. My Dr. gave me 2 a day. Morn. Night. I am still passing out and going numb. I had an anal fissure. This is not that bad, but it is close. There are no little bumps, it's one big bump. Pain shoots down my right leg or up my spine. I have a rush of endorphins and often fall asleep. I become slightly better after a few days. Then I think things are better and I walk 5K with my dog or mow the lawn. And take 2 steps back. That is my fault. But the medication twice a day is very expensive with no insurance. It needs a lubricant. It only lasts 3 or 5 hours. I get things done. Then I can barely eat and need to wait till the night dose. I wasted one using the bathroom twice in 15 minutes. I thought I was done. Nope. So expensive I went without. I can use it in 1 minute. But I still don't like suppositories. Ugh."

For Hemorrhoids "Quickly, I'll say. The 'Low moisture drawer' in the fridge works. Do not use the freezer! Take it out of the fridge, put it in your pocket for 2 minutes to warm up a bit. Or else, it takes a long time to dissolve and feels quite uncomfortable. I didn't dare use the ones I put in the freezer, they would be rock hard! I'll use an ice pack. Tips for hot weather and melting suppositories: low humid fridge, a few minutes to warm up. It's still solid, take a bit more time to dissolve. At least it's not falling apart in my hands and breaking. Hope that helps someone. I live in Canada. It's not really that hot either."
