Indications
Preparation H Cooling Gel is a product that provides rapid cooling relief from painful burning, itching, and swelling caused by hemorrhoids. It helps to promote skin healing and reduce inflammation. It works by reducing inflammation, narrowing blood vessels, and potentially promoting skin healing, which can provide temporary relief from hemorrhoid symptoms.
Preparation H contains vitamin E and aloe for soothing, cool relief of external hemorrhoid symptoms. It works by temporarily shrinking hemorrhoidal tissue, relieving local itching, discomfort, and irritation caused by hemorrhoids. The gel formula is not sticky or messy, making it easy to use.
