I won't go into the reason why you need these tablets. Having battled with haemorroids for years, a naturopath suggested treating internally. There are many creams treating this product but Pilex which is from an excellent company specialising in Ayuvedic medicine really works and is fantastic backed up by the cream. No harmful steroid or chemicals this needs to be worked at for a number of weeks to offer a solution for hard stool and the pain but it really works.
