Pilefine Ointment (Hydrocortisone + Pramoxine + Phenylephrine + Lidocaine + Witch Hazel): Hemorrhoid Relief Ointment | For Itching, Irritation and Discomfort

Precaution

For External Use

Pilefine Ointment is intended for topical use around the affected anal area. Use it only as directed and avoid unnecessary application to other areas of the body.

Avoid Contact With Eyes

Keep the ointment away from the eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Damaged or Irritated Skin

Use caution when applying the ointment to severely broken, infected, or extensively irritated skin. Stop use and seek appropriate medical advice if irritation becomes significant.

Prolonged Use

Avoid using Pilefine Ointment for longer than recommended. Prolonged or excessive use of hydrocortisone-containing topical products may increase the risk of skin thinning and other local effects.

Allergic Reactions

People with known sensitivity to hydrocortisone, pramoxine, lidocaine, phenylephrine, witch hazel, or related ingredients should use caution. Discontinue use if severe redness, swelling, rash, or other signs of an allergic reaction occur.

Children

Use in children only when appropriate and according to healthcare guidance, as their skin may be more sensitive to topical corticosteroids and local anesthetic ingredients.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, discuss the suitability of Pilefine Ointment with a healthcare professional before use, particularly if prolonged or repeated application is being considered.

Persistent or Severe Symptoms

If hemorrhoid symptoms are severe, recurrent, associated with significant bleeding, or do not improve with appropriate use, seek medical evaluation rather than continuing self-treatment for an extended period.

Avoid Excessive Application

Apply only the recommended amount to the affected area. Excessive or frequent application may increase the likelihood of local irritation or absorption of the active ingredients.

Usage

Clean the Affected Area

Gently clean the anal area with mild soap and water, then pat dry before applying Pilefine Ointment. Avoid vigorous rubbing, which may worsen irritation.

Apply a Thin Layer

Apply a small amount of Pilefine Ointment to the affected external area as directed. Use only the amount recommended for symptom relief.

Wash Your Hands

Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment to help maintain cleanliness and prevent unnecessary transfer of the product.

Use Regularly as Directed

Use Pilefine Ointment according to the recommended application schedule. Consistent use as directed can help provide relief from hemorrhoid-related itching, irritation, swelling, and discomfort.

Avoid Contact With Eyes

Pilefine Ointment is intended for the affected anal area. Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Rinse with water if accidental contact occurs.

Do Not Use Excessively

Do not apply more frequently or in larger amounts than recommended. Excessive or prolonged use may increase the risk of local skin irritation or other effects.

Do Not Continue Indefinitely

If symptoms persist, worsen, or recur frequently despite appropriate use, seek medical evaluation rather than continuing prolonged self-treatment.

Uses

Hemorrhoid Symptom Relief

Pilefine Ointment is used to provide temporary relief from common symptoms associated with hemorrhoids, including itching, irritation, soreness, and discomfort.

Relief From Itching

Hydrocortisone and the local anesthetic ingredients may help reduce itching and uncomfortable sensations around the affected area.

Reducing Irritation

The formulation can help soothe irritated skin around the anal area and provide temporary symptomatic relief.

Relieving Local Discomfort

Pramoxine and lidocaine can temporarily reduce sensations such as burning, soreness, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoidal symptoms.

Helping Reduce Swelling

Phenylephrine may help reduce local swelling by producing a vasoconstricting effect on blood vessels in the treated area.

Soothing the Affected Area

Witch hazel provides an astringent and soothing effect that may help calm irritated skin and support temporary relief from hemorrhoid-related discomfort.

Side Effects

Local Skin Irritation

Pilefine Ointment may cause mild irritation, redness, or discomfort at the application site in some people. Stop use and seek appropriate advice if irritation becomes severe or persistent.

Burning or Stinging

A temporary burning, stinging, or tingling sensation may occur after application, particularly when the affected skin is already irritated or sensitive.

Dryness

Some people may experience dryness or changes in the skin around the treated area, especially with frequent or prolonged application.

Skin Redness

Temporary redness may occur around the application area. Persistent or worsening redness should be evaluated appropriately.

Skin Sensitivity

Repeated or prolonged use of hydrocortisone-containing topical products may increase skin sensitivity or contribute to skin thinning in some individuals.

Allergic Reaction

Rarely, sensitivity to hydrocortisone, pramoxine, phenylephrine, lidocaine, witch hazel, or other ingredients may cause rash, swelling, severe itching, or other allergic symptoms. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if a significant reaction occurs.

Numbness or Reduced Sensation

Because the ointment contains local anesthetic ingredients such as lidocaine and pramoxine, temporary numbness or reduced sensation may occur in the treated area.

Worsening Irritation

If symptoms become more uncomfortable, the affected area becomes increasingly inflamed, or new symptoms develop after application, discontinue use and seek appropriate medical advice.

Interactions

Other Topical Products

Using multiple ointments, creams, or other topical products on the same anal area may increase irritation or affect how the products work. Inform a healthcare professional about other products you apply to the affected area.

Local Anesthetic Products

Other products containing local anesthetics such as lidocaine or pramoxine may increase the overall local anesthetic exposure when applied to the same area. Avoid combining them unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Topical Corticosteroids

Using other hydrocortisone or corticosteroid-containing creams or ointments on the same area may increase the risk of local skin effects, particularly with prolonged or frequent use.

Medicines Containing Phenylephrine

If you use other products containing phenylephrine or similar vasoconstricting ingredients, inform a healthcare professional. Combined exposure may increase the effects of these ingredients in some individuals.

Medicines Applied to the Same Area

Other rectal or perianal preparations may interact through overlapping ingredients or increased local irritation. Allow appropriate spacing or use only products recommended for concurrent application.

Medicines and Supplements

Tell your healthcare professional about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements you use. This helps identify potential interactions and supports appropriate use of Pilefine Ointment.

Use on Large Areas or Broken Skin

Applying products containing local anesthetics or corticosteroids over large areas or significantly damaged skin may increase absorption. Use Pilefine Ointment only on the recommended area and in the appropriate amount.
