WHAT IT IS / WHAT IT DOES

Preparation H® Cooling Hemorrhoid Relief PE Gel is a topical medicated treatment designed to provide temporary relief from hemorrhoid-related swelling, burning, itching, and irritation.

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels located in or around the lower rectum and anus. They may cause discomfort, particularly during or after bowel movements.

This gel combines two active ingredients with complementary actions.

Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 0.25% – Hemorrhoid Swelling Relief

Phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor.

When applied topically, it temporarily narrows local blood vessels, helping reduce swollen hemorrhoidal tissue.

This action can provide temporary relief from discomfort associated with hemorrhoidal swelling.

Witch Hazel 50% – Cooling & Soothing Relief

Witch hazel, also known as Hamamelis virginiana, is a botanical ingredient commonly used in topical astringent preparations.

Its soothing properties help provide cooling comfort to irritated skin.

In this formula, witch hazel helps relieve burning and irritation associated with hemorrhoids.

Dual-Action Hemorrhoid Care

By combining phenylephrine with witch hazel, Preparation H PE Gel addresses two common concerns:

• Swollen hemorrhoidal tissue.

• Localized burning, itching, and irritation.

The convenient gel formulation allows targeted application to the affected external area.

Preparation H PE Gel provides temporary symptom relief. It does not eliminate the underlying causes of hemorrhoids or replace medical assessment when symptoms are persistent or severe.
