Preparation H Clear Gel is a clear, non-greasy gel that provides soothing, cooling relief from the discomfort of haemorrhoids (piles). Its astringent action helps to relieve itching, soreness and irritation in and around the back passage. The gel contains witch hazel (hamamelis water), a natural astringent that helps to soothe and calm the affected area. Because it is clear and non-staining, it can be applied discreetly. This is the UK/Irish Clear Gel formulation, which contains witch hazel as its active ingredient and does not contain phenylephrine (a decongestant/vasoconstrictor found only in certain non-UK Preparation H variants). For external and local use in and around the anal area. Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over. Pack size: 50g. Always read the label and the patient information leaflet before use.
