Ingredients
- Mineral oil- A soothing agent for inflamed tissues
- Petrolatum– A lubricating ointment that also soothes and relieves irritated membranes.
- Phenylephrine HCl- This reagent is commonly used in over the counter decongestants for the treatment of nasal, sinus and allergy symptoms. Phenylephrine HCL works by reducing the amount of swelling in the nose and ears but there is little documentation that it works the same or is well advised for application to the ano-rectal area.
Dosage
After thoroughly cleaning and drying the affected area, adults and children aged 12 and above are directed to apply the ointment evenly wherever the area is irritated and uncomfortable. The ointment can be applied as frequently as 4 times per day.
It is important to carefully lubricate the applicator with each insertion of the medication into the rectum to avoid causing further discomfort. Carefully clean the applicator after each use and replace the protective cover on it for further security in between uses.
Price
Formulation R Ointment is $2.99 per bottle, which makes it one of the lower priced remedies on the market.
Guarantee
Formulation R Ointment publishes no refund policy or other, comparable promises or guaranties.
Conclusion for Formulation R Ointment
While Formulation R does contain soothing reagents, these are not necessarily enough to give relief of hemorrhoids, which is what most sufferers want instantly. Formulation R ointment is much less dependable for relief.
Besides, it does not even have a guarantee.
