2 | Internal hemorrhoids | M | | 5/2/2005 | 2 | Haemorrhoids | Itch went away, but in the morning dizziness with a slightly nauseous feeling. By the evening of the next day, extremely watery bowel movements and generally felt unwell. Due to excessive bowel movements, piles felt even worse. | F | 49 | 1 days | 5/16/2020 | 1 | Painful Hemorrhoids | Abdominal cramping with SEVERE watery diarrhea--which I've learned is a known side effect to steroids. Abdomen became bloated and uncomfortably very distended after first dosage. Yet I didn't connect it to the suppository until the second dose, unfortunately. Hours and hours of watery diarrhea, cramping, bloating, nausea and headache/malaise kept me up all night, running to the bathroom--all night long. A very, very unpleasant experience, which I will never repeat. | I wish I had known how much of the steroid is absorbed into the bloodstream by this suppository (almost 30%). If you are sensitive to oral steroids, as I am, be aware of this fact. I have taken virtually every hemorrhoid suppository and have NEVER had any reaction before this. | F | 55 | 1 days suppositor 2X day | 6/19/2014 | 1 | Internal hemorrhoid | My daughter is suffering from severe cramps after taking anusol suppositories for one day. I gave her Tylenol for the pain. She has been crying. Tylenol is starting to help. Do not recommend at all. | F | 18 | 1 days 1X day | 3/23/2024 | 5 | Hemorrhoids | Abdominal pain, headache, feeling dizzy, passing gas and stool more | F | 39 | 2 days 30mg 1X day | 9/4/2020 | 1 | For piles | Gave me more pain .did not feel right made a lot worse .gave cramp.pain.soreness | F | 75 | 2 days 1X day | 9/25/2021 | 4 | Internal hemmorhoids | Slight burning after insertion of Anusol suppository - but this went away in a few minutes. | Seems to be shrinking hemmorhoids - more comfortable now - no itch. | 41 | 3 days | 10/22/2009 | 2 | hemorrhoids | No effect on hemorrhoids yet (worse, if anything). Extremely loose stools. Increased amount of blood. Bowel movements more painful. | Doesn't seem to be helping me. | M | 43 | 3 days 471 | 7/6/2019 | 1 | Fissure/Hemmerhoid | SEVERE abdominal cramping. While it eased the pain of the fissure and the hemmerhoid a side effect I suffered was headaches, diarrhea, severe cramping passing wind and stools, along with pains in kidney area. I'm guessing I'm in the 30% that suffers severe side effects. I'll be sticking with standard Anusol from here on in which has worked wonders for me in the past. My advice, try one suppository over a 24 hour period and reevaluate, if you don't suffer from the side effects listed above carry on. Otherwise stick to standard Anusol. | M | 38 | 3 days 2X day | 9/23/2016 | 1 | Tear on exit if colon at anus | Caused dihorrea and major cramps | Ask your doctor about any side effects please | M | 15 | 4 days Suppositor 2X day | 10/1/2023 | 4 | Anal Fissure | Pain upon insertion of suppository. It's much more comfortable if you coat it with a personal lubricant. | It worked fast to reduce inflammation and heal the fissure. | M | 2 weeks | 11/30/2008 |
