Formulated with a rich, moisture-retentive base, this dual-active piles ointment combines a fast-acting local anesthetic (Lidocaine Hydrochloride) with a proven astringent (Zinc Oxide). Germoloids 4 In 1 Ointment For Piles works rapidly to numb pain, soothe intense itching, shrink swollen tissue, and protect raw, inflamed anorectal skin against friction during bowel movements.

Supplied with an easy-to-use applicator nozzle, this hemorrhoid ointment can be applied internally or topically. Available in convenient 25ml tubes and value 55ml pack sizes, it offers versatile, long-lasting hemorrhoids ointment treatment for home or travel.

Key Features:

  • 4-in-1 Action: Numbs pain, soothes itching, shrinks swollen piles, and lubricates sensitive mucosal tissue.
  • Fast-Acting Local Anesthetic: Contains Lidocaine Hydrochloride to rapidly numb severe pain, soreness, and burning sensations.
  • Tissue-Shrinking Astringent: Formulated with Zinc Oxide to help constrict swollen blood vessels and shrink pile mass.
  • Rich Protective Base: Provides a durable lipid barrier that seals in moisture, prevents dryness, and protects raw skin against friction during defecation.
  • Dual Internal/External Applicator: Includes an applicator nozzle for hygienic internal insertion alongside easy external application.

Germoloids Cream vs Ointment: Which Should You Choose?

When evaluating germoloids cream vs ointment, both formulations contain identical strengths of active ingredients (Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Zinc Oxide), but differ in base properties and texture:

  • Germoloids Ointment: Formulated with an oil-based, lipid-rich structure. It is thicker, stays on the skin longer, and provides superior moisture-retention and lubrication. It is ideal for dry, raw, or severely irritated skin requiring an extra protective barrier.

  • Germoloids Cream: Formulated as a water-based emulsion. It is lighter, non-greasy, absorbs rapidly, and easily washes off clothing. It is preferred for daytime use when a lighter feel is desired.

Ingredients

  • Active Ingredients (per gram):

    • Zinc Oxide: 6.6% w/w

    • Lidocaine Hydrochloride: 0.7% w/w

  • Ointment Base Excipients: Yellow Soft Paraffin, Wool Fat (Lanolin), Microcrystalline Wax, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Propylene Glycol, Water.

How to Use:

  • Target Users: Suitable for adults, the elderly, and children aged 12 years and over.

  • Administration Guide:

    • External Piles: Wash and dry the anal area. Apply a small amount of ointment directly onto the affected area with clean hands or gauze.

    • Internal Piles: Screw the applicator nozzle onto the tube, insert it gently into the rectum (back passage), and squeeze the tube slightly as you withdraw it. Wash the nozzle thoroughly after each use.

  • Dosage & Frequency:

    • Apply twice daily (morning and bedtime) and after every bowel movement.

  • Duration: Use for up to 7 consecutive days. If symptoms persist beyond 7 days or if bleeding occurs, consult a doctor
