NeilMed Hemorrhoidal Suppositories, Shrinks Swollen Tissue, Relief from Burning, Itching and Discomfort of Hemorrhoids, 24 Count

This product worked great for me and as well, probably better than the name brand or even prescription hydrocortisone suppositories. Yeah, they’re a little difficult to open on occasion, but bending the tabs in half helped with that. A few had a few little crumbs broken off but not like many of the other reviews. I will definitely order more if I ever need them again. I haven’t had issues since using these though.

This is the worst suppository I’ve ever attempted to use. Half of them are not even fully formed in the foil package. They crumble up when you try to use them. They are dry and seem to look old…or just not a great formula to begin with! I even tried refrigeration and it didn’t help🤷‍♀️😖! I’m on a vacation and had to send my husband out for preparation H because I’m disabled on top of this other problem 😕. Please don’t waste your money on these! Absolutely horrible and all the medicine crumbles away so you get no relief whatsoever!!!!! It actually deserves no stars…but it makes you pick one!!!

This vasoconstrictor suppository works and is very cost-effective. It is harder shell than one by name brand, but I have used all suppositories with a bit of lotion on the tip. The lotion/oil/vaseline makes insertion much easier. I have used the suppository successfully after cleansing. Ensure that the suppository is "pulled" up indicating right placement. Just have to sit/wait for 1-2 mins for the butter to melt inside. Wipe off any excess that might come down. There will be pain relief a few minutes after. The blood vessels will take a few mins to begin constricting due to phenylephrine. Here is one way to increase its effectiveness. Your procedure might vary.... (see pic for all the aux items) 1. Use wet tissue as wetted with with few drops of water or witch hazel. 2. Finally wet tissue with witch hazel and put as close to inflamed hems. Close the crack slowly sliding out your fingers. Leave in the issue 30s to 1 min. Remove tissue. 3. Open suppository. Prime tip with hand lotion or 1 drop of oil. Insert as comfortable to you until it is "pulled" up. Wait for 1-2 mins for it to settle/melt. 4. If any excess wipe off. Apply coconut oil or vaseline. Wipe excess so that it will not stain clothing... 5. If time permits, apply the calamine ointment (can repeat) or phenylephrine ointment (once only). Note that phenylephrine should not be used more than 3x. It is a vasoconstrictor (shrinks blood vessels). 6. After 10 mins or before heading out, you may optionally use Anusol suppository, as needed. This is zinc oxide that coats the tissues (remember diaper rash cream). 7. Do Sitz bath (warm water, +witch hazel alcohol-free if available) 3-4x a day. You can use a bucket or any wide pan. Just remember that ointment with calamine (it is zinc) can be used any time but not phenylephrine. Same applies for Anusol (zinc) vs phenylephrine suppositories. Several of the steps can be done out of order, find which works best for you. Keeping the hems from getting inflamed is key. Keep the suppositories below or at room temp. These Neilmed suppositories are priced right.

Base crumble while inserting, only about half the medicine goes where it is supposed to go. So far I've opened 4 and all have the same problem. Maybe they sat in a warehouse too long. I should have bought preparation H. Lesson learned.

Product works, as well as the name band product, almost at half the cost. It can be crumbly to prevent this. I store it in the fridge until ready for use, it works out fantastic!

I've been in a flare up for the past two months. I've tried all the past remedies that worked and to no avail. I used the big brad (H) you know and it was like nothing was even happening. So I took a leap on these because I was desperate to try something new. Looking at the reviews I typically wouldn't buy these because the reviews were so mixed. I'm so glad that I wasn't influenced by the lack of reviews. These things are magic. Now my first impressions when I unwrapped were not great. They were crumbly as lot of other have reviewed. But if you could get past that. Even if you have take extra effort to insert it's worth it. I used one before bed and when I woke the next morning it was like the clouds parted. The storm passed. There was just sunshine birds and butterflies. Four days later I used another not because I needed it, but because I was feeling like it was too good to be true. It's been two weeks now and I feel amazing. Don't let the appearance of the unwrapped product deter you. Give it a chance. If it really bothers you, then soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes then stand the section of foiled suppositories to where the point is downwards until they cool. maybe even put them in the fridge so they can re-mold.

Totally dried out, crumbling into pieces as you attempt to remove from wrapper, these are the MOST USELESS product I have ever bought here or perhaps anywhere. Absolute waste of money, and much worse if you find you need one and have no alternatives at hand! AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

Simple and work well
