Internal Shrinking and Soothing Protection for Prompt Symptom Relief
Rugby Hemorrhoidal Suppositories provide effective, clinical-strength relief from internal swelling and discomfort.

Internal Care Tip: The "Cleanse & Tame" Protocol
For the best results with internal treatments, specialists recommend a 2-step process. First, use a medicated Witch Hazel pad to "Tame the Flame" by cleansing and cooling the external area. This ensures a hygienic environment for Step 2 (The Internal Tamer), where the suppository is inserted. This protocol reduces discomfort during insertion and treats both internal and external symptoms simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are suppositories better than ointment for internal relief?
Suppositories are often preferred for internal symptoms because they deliver the active ingredients directly to the source of the swelling and remain in place longer than an ointment would.
Why is cleansing with a pad (Step 1) recommended first?
Using a medicated Witch Hazel pad first ensures the external area is clean and cooled. This makes insertion more comfortable and prevents you from pushing external bacteria or irritants further into the rectum.
Can I use these at the same time as the ointment?
While the active ingredients are similar, many people use suppositories for internal relief at night and ointment for external relief during the day. For a deep dive into combining therapies, read our Protocol Guide.
