Anusol-HC is a prescription-strength topical medication that contains hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid used to relieve inflammation, itching, swelling, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other rectal inflammatory conditions. It is available in cream and suppository forms and delivers fast-acting relief directly to the affected area.

Hydrocortisone works by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response, providing targeted relief where over-the-counter remedies may not be effective. Anusol-HC is commonly used for both acute flare-ups and long-term maintenance under physician supervision.
