The CVS Hemorrhoidal Cream With Aloe Formula

The CVS Hemorrhoidal Cream with Aloe contains the following active ingredients:

  • Glycerin – WebMD does not list Glycerin as effective or ineffective for hemorrhoid treatment. It is used to treat constipation, meaning it is used as a laxative. An ingredient like this could possibly cause increased irritation and discomfort for those seeking hemorrhoid relief.
  • Phenylephrine – used to relieve stuffy noses, sinus and ear symptoms, this ingredient is also lacking in documentation stating its effectiveness as treatment for hemorrhoids.
  • Pramoxine – This ingredient will provide temporary relief from the itching associated with hemorrhoids.
  • White Petrolatum – used to treat diaper rash, it is possible that this ingredient will provide temporary relief from the itching and irritation caused by hemorrhoids.

Conclusion

The CVS Hemorrhoidal Cream with Aloe is a good product, however only one of its ingredients are beneficial to those suffering the effects of hemorrhoids. In fact, the Glycerin used is normally used to treat constipation, so there is the possibility of this ingredient causing more bowel movements to be suffered through.
