Frequently Asked Questions
What are the active ingredients in Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment compared to Preparation H®?
Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment contains 1% Phenylephrine HCl (a vasoconstrictor) plus protectants: white petrolatum, light mineral oil, and lanolin. These are the same active ingredients found in Preparation H® Original Ointment.
Is Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment a generic Preparation H®?
Yes. Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment is a generic alternative to Preparation H® Original Ointment, using the same active ingredients for relief of pain, itching, and swelling caused by hemorrhoids—at a lower cost.
How much does Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment cost?
Prices vary by seller, but our 2 oz tube is typically 20–40% less expensive than the brand-name equivalent. We also offer free shipping on multi-packs for added savings.
How do I apply Rugby Hemorrhoidal Ointment with the included applicator?
Clean the applicator before and after each use. Attach it to the tube, gently insert it into the rectum, and squeeze a small amount (as directed) internally. For external use, apply a thin layer to the affected area up to 4 times daily.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
This product is generally considered safe during pregnancy for short-term hemorrhoid relief, but always consult your doctor before use, especially if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
What’s the difference between hemorrhoidal cream and ointment?
Creams are water-based and absorb quickly, often preferred for daytime use. Ointments are thicker and oil-based, providing a longer-lasting barrier—ideal for overnight relief or external protection.
