Haemorrhoid relief products from Preparation H are stocked here, with the gel available in 25g and 50g tubes.

The two tube sizes hold the same product, so the choice is about how long you expect to use it rather than about strength. The pack and the patient information leaflet set out how to apply it, how often, and for how long to continue, and those instructions should be followed rather than adjusted. Alongside any product, the everyday factors matter: adequate fluid, fibre in the diet, and not straining or sitting for long periods are the things most often advised. Haemorrhoid symptoms are common and frequently settle, but they can also overlap with symptoms that need proper assessment. Bleeding, a change in bowel habit, pain that is severe or not settling, or symptoms that return repeatedly should be discussed with a doctor rather than managed over the counter. This is a situation where asking is worth more than guessing, and our pharmacy team deal with it routinely and discreetly. Buying the smaller tube first is sensible if you have not used the product before.

Preparation H is stocked at Ronaghan's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy, where our pharmacist is available for a confidential conversation. Always read the label and the patient information leaflet before use.
