Anucort-HC (hydrocortisone) for Hemorrhoids "Experiencing my 1st hemorrhoid at 55, it is a level 3 that can be pushed back in but VERY painful. I tried all the over-the-counter medications available at my local stores before my doctor got my prescription Anucort called into the pharmacy. I got almost instant relief thankfully as the hemorrhoids are very uncomfortable. I have only had to take one suppository so far and I’m not experiencing any more pain at this time. I recommend this for instant relief; it has been a lifesaver."
