AJ,

Preparation H's main ingredients is shark liver oil. The oil helps shrink

haemorrhoids, and other tissues. In Canada though, our formulation is

different. The US FDA ordered that the product sold in the US be changed,

and our formula contains an active yeast called Biodyne in addition to shark

oil. The US formulation contains an astringent called phenylepherine

instead of Biodyne, which is a potent vasoconstrictor. Some swear that

Biodyne is a potent healing agent for burns, surgical scars and acne as

well!

I used a formulation of Retin-A in high school, called Stie-VAA (sp?) and my

lord, I prayed daily for a quick death. The constant rash was too much to

bear and I looked like the victim of a chemical peel gone crazy! I can't

imagine the value of this in a haemorrhoid cream.....

Is there a reason why it works? I am using Retina A; but just read recently

that it could cause a decrease in bone mass. is there Retina A in hemroide

(sp!!) cream?

I am glad that I asked. (Hoping no one in the US went out and bought some

stuff with astringent in it ... that could hurt! Perhaps just buying sharks

oil at a health food place would do it here in the US?

I use Renova that my dermatologist tells me has retin-a in it. Renova works

wonders I would hate to give it up. The dermatologist perscribed it for me

because my face was 'addicted' to the steroid creams that doctors mistakenly

perscribed for my Rosecea. The steroid worked to get rid of the Roseca but

it took greater and greater amounts to work. When he took me off it my face

went through an acute inflamation stage and it took almost a year for my

face to withdraw from the effects of the steroids. Without the Renova one

side of my face had skin similar to chicken skin - the dermatologist said

this was a sign of EDS but I have not heard that before.
