Anusol HC and Proctosol HC cream, are they the same?

Postby TearingPain » 04 May 2013, 23:33

Has anyone use Anusol HC or Proctosol HC cream before?
Anusol HC vs Proctosol HC, are there differences? The Same?
I ask this because, when I was younger, my family doctor diagnosed me with anal fissure and prescribe me Proctosol HC.
Now I'm older and I have thrombosed external hemorrhoids, as diagnosed by the E.R doctor, and he prescribe me Anusol HC cream.
So what is the difference? It is safer to use Proctosol HC?
Anyone here have hems before, can you recommended me some cream name? Thank you very much.

TearingPain, proctosol, anusol and many others are in the same family just the brand names are different, they do the same thing.
They are all to treat hemorroidal tissue.
I have used prescribed anusol by my General Doctor when my fissure misdiagnosed as hems.
I also was prescribed Hydrocortisone for my sentinel pile by my CRS.
They are safe unless you have some sensitivity to them.

The HC in both stands for Hydrocortisone I believe, so ya, they'd work the same.
If you want a quick method for comparing any meds, just look at the active ingredients. If they're the same, it's not chemically possible for the effects to be different. One might have Aloe, and one might be blue, but if HC's at the end, the HC's doing the heavy lifting. The only difference would be concentration of it, which is also listed.
