Preparation H Review

Editor's Rating:

When it comes to temporary relief of hemorrhoid pain in the form of an applicable ointment, it can probably be argued that Preparation H has the longest lasting and well known reputation on the market.

Preparation H comes to you in ointment form in a tube that also serves as an applicator.

It works to relieve painful and burning itching by shrinking swollen and irritated tissues and coating them to avoid further irritation.
