About Preparation H
Preparation H is one of the world's best-selling hemorrhoid treatments, trusted by millions of people worldwide for fast, effective relief. The brand has a remarkable history dating back to 1935, when American Home Products transformed a sunburn oil into what would become a leading hemorrhoid remedy. Today, Preparation H is owned by Pfizer following their 2009 acquisition of Wyeth, making it part of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical portfolios. The Preparation H range offers multiple formats to suit different needs and preferences. Their hemorrhoidal ointment provides targeted relief for external symptoms, while cream formulations offer easy application. The range also includes convenient wipes for on-the-go relief and discreet use. Different products contain various active ingredients including phenylephrine (which constricts blood vessels to reduce swelling) and hydrocortisone (which reliably reduces inflammation). Hemorrhoids are a common condition affecting a significant proportion of adults at some point in their lives, yet many people feel embarrassed discussing it. Preparation H addresses this by providing accessible, over-the-counter solutions that can be purchased discreetly at pharmacies and supermarkets. The brand's long heritage and pharmaceutical backing provide consumers with confidence in product quality and efficacy. Available at UK pharmacies, supermarkets, and online retailers, Preparation H remains the go-to choice for hemorrhoid symptom relief. Whether you're experiencing occasional discomfort or seeking ongoing management, the range offers solutions designed to provide fast, effective relief from itching, burning, and discomfort.
