Anusol HC Suppositories is a targeted, medicated treatment formulated to provide fast, soothing relief from the pain, swelling, and itching associated with internal hemorrhoids (piles) and minor rectal inflammations. The "HC" denotes the inclusion of hydrocortisone acetate, a mild corticosteroid that actively shrinks swollen blood vessels and calms aggressive tissue inflammation.
