Anusol-HC suppositories are used to treat hemorrhoids, rectal itching/swelling, and anorectal inflammation. The active ingredient in Anusol-HC suppositories is hydrocortisone acetate, which is a type of corticosteroid. This ingredient works by reducing inflammation and swelling in the affected area.

Anusol-HC suppositories are specifically designed for internal use in the rectum and are not intended to treat external hemorrhoids. For external hemorrhoids, consider using hemorrhoid creams or ointments that can be directly applied to the affected area.

To use Anusol-HC suppositories, first wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Next, remove the foil wrapper from the suppository and moisten it with a little water. Gently insert the suppository, pointed end first, into the rectum with your finger, deep enough so it does not slide back out. It is usually recommended to use one suppository in the rectum, morning, and night, and after each bowel movement, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Typical dosing for Anusol-HC (Hydrocortisone acetate/Zinc Sulfate) rectal suppositories depends on the severity of the condition being treated. The usual dosage for nonspecific proctitis is one suppository in the rectum, administered morning and night for two weeks. The recommended dosage might increase to one suppository inserted three times daily for severe cases.
