Before using Haemmorrhoid Relief Sainsburys, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective application.

• Do not apply if you have a known allergy to lidocaine, allantoin, or any excipients.
• Avoid use on broken skin, open wounds, or infected hemorrhoidal tissue.
• Limit application to the recommended amount; excessive use may increase systemic absorption of lidocaine.

• Keep the product out of reach of children; accidental ingestion can be harmful.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction.

Haemmorrhoid Relief Sainsburys may interact with other topical or systemic agents; the following guidance helps minimize risk.

Avoid

• Concurrent use of other lidocaine‑containing products on the same area, which could raise total lidocaine exposure.
• Application together with strong irritant or corrosive rectal preparations (e.g., certain enemas) that may damage mucosa.

Use with caution

• Systemic medications that affect heart rhythm or liver metabolism, as lidocaine is processed hepatically.
• Other local anesthetics or analgesic creams applied nearby, to avoid additive numbness.
• Anticoagulant therapy, because irritation could increase bleeding risk from hemorrhoids.
