Medical Expert Tip: Use the "Flame & Tame" Method
Gastroenterologists recommend a 2-step approach for maximum relief. This ointment is Step 2 (The Tame). First, use a medicated Witch Hazel pad to "Tame the Flame" by cooling and cleansing the area. Then, apply this ointment to shrink the swelling and protect the tissue. This ensures the medication is absorbed effectively for faster healing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this as effective as the brand-name ointment?
Yes. Because it contains the exact same active ingredients in the same concentrations, it provides identical relief for shrinking tissue and protecting the skin at a fraction of the price.
How often should I apply this?
For best results, you should apply it up to 4 times per day. Most people find the most relief by applying it first thing in the morning, right before bed, and after every bowel movement.
Can I use this with medicated pads?
Absolutely. In fact, using them together is the "Flame & Tame" method. The pads clean and cool the area, while the ointment does the heavy lifting of shrinking the hemorrhoid.
