Product Details

Germoloids HC Spray. Hydrocortisone is one of a group of substances
called steroids (which should not be confused with "anabolic steroid" tablets or injections misused by some athletes), and occurs naturally in the body. Topical steroids have been shown to reduce the itching, redness and inflammation of certain skin problems. Lidocaine hydrochloride is a local anaesthetic and is included in Germoloids HC Spray to relieve pain.

Piles (also known as haemorrhoids) are swollen or enlarged blood vessels, which can cause varying degrees of discomfort, itching and irritation, particularly after a bowel
movement. They may be either internal (inside the anus) or external (outside the anus).
Germoloids HC Spray relieves the symptoms of external haemorrhoids, which include pain, itching and irritation immediately around the anus.

Directions

How to use Germoloids HC Spray
Germoloids HC Spray is supplied in a collapsible laminate tube fitted with a metered
dose pump spray, which is ozone-friendly.
Prime the pump by depressing its top once or twice before initial use.
• Parting your buttocks if necessary, spray once over the affected area up to three
times daily, depending on the severity of your condition. The spray can be used at
any angle.
• Wash hands and replace cap after use.

Ingredients

It is a colourless to pale yellow liquid and contains two active ingredients: Hydrocortisone (0.2% w/w) and lidocaine
hydrochloride (1% w/w). It also contains cetomacrogol 1000, citric acid, sodium citrate, propyl gallate, phenoxyethanol and purified water as inactive ingredients.

Side Effects

You may experience tingling at the site of application when the spray is first applied. This is normal and only temporary. Rarely, some people experience more persistent discomfort and irritation. If this occurs stop using Germoloids HC Spray and consult your doctor. If you are in any doubt about the treatment, or notice any side-effects, you should talk to a doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings

When NOT to use Germoloids HC Spray
• DO NOT use if sensitive to lidocaine (also known as lignocaine) or any of the
other ingredients (as listed above).
• DO NOT use on broken or infected skin.
• DO NOT use internally (inside the anus).
• DO NOT use anywhere other than the anal area.
• DO NOT use if you are pregnant, breast-feeding or under 16 years of age.
For your safety
• Germoloids HC Spray should be used for limited periods only. Do not use it
continuously for more than 7 days. If your condition does not improve or gets
worse consult your doctor. It is very important to obtain medical advice if you
have persistent pain or bleeding from the anus particularly if there has been a
change in your bowel habit, if your stomach is swollen or bloated, you have
abdominal pain or if you are losing weight. Do not delay in consulting a doctor if
you have these symptoms, as you may require prompt treatment.
• Do not use if you are already using another product containing a steroid (e.g.
prednisolone, beclometasone, betamethasone, dexamethasone), unless your doctor
has said that you can use both products together. If you are not sure check with
your doctor or pharmacist. For further details on steroids refer to the section
entitled ‘About Germoloids HC Spray'
• Keep the spray away from your eyes, nose and mouth.
• In exceptional circumstances, if steroids such as hydrocortisone are used
excessively, thinning of the skin may occur. The symptoms are normally
reversible when treatment is stopped.
• One of Germoloids HC Spray's active ingredients, hydrocortisone, occurs
naturally as part of the normal function of the body. Theoretically, if Germoloids
HC Spray is used excessively for long periods, it could suppress this natural
process, although no such problem has ever been reported.
• It is possible to develop an allergy to either lidocaine or hydrocortisone, in which
case the use of Germoloids HC Spray will make the skin even more sore and
itchy. If this happens, the spray should no longer be used.

Store Germoloids HC Spray at room temperature not exceeding 25oC, in a safe place where children cannot see or reach it. Always replace the cap after use and keep the tube and carton with the leaflet.
Do not use after the expiry date shown on the seal of the tube and on one end of the carton.
