Anorectal preparations

What are Anorectal preparations?

Anorectal products generally contain a local anesthetic and a pain reliever or an anti-inflammatory agent in combination as an ointment or suppository. They are applied topically either to treat internal or external hemorrhoids. Ointments can be used on external and internal hemorrhoids, and suppositories are used inside the rectum to treat internal hemorrhoids. Other anorectal products are agents that are used to treat genital or anal warts.
