There are three main Himalaya Pilex products: Himalaya Pilex Forte ointment, Himalaya Pilex tablets and Himalaya Pilex Forte tablets. All of which can help treat heamorrhoids.
Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swollen and painful veins around your anus, that can pop up inside or outside. Things like pushing too hard when you poop, ongoing constipation or diarrhoea, being pregnant, being overweight, or sitting or standing for too long can cause them.
Himalaya Pilex Forte ointment – with zinc calx and sensitive plant – is a herbal topical formulation specifically designed to address external inflammation related to hemorrhoids. Whereas Himalaya Pilex tablets – with neem, haritaki and mesua ferrea, are herbal supplements you take by mouth.
The Himalaya Pilex tablets contain neem and haritaki, and they can help with internal pain, discomfort or inflammation related to hemorrhoids. Neem can help to both reduce inflammation and avoid further infections, while encouraging proper healing of your haemorrhoids. And haritaki (terminalia chebula) possesses mild laxative and astringent properties, which help soften your stools, promote bowel movements, and reduce swelling in the anal area.
Himalaya Pilex ointment, on the other hand, contains different ingredients like zinc calx and sensitive plant. Zinc calx (yashad bhasma) is a mineral-based ingredient that is known for its astringent and antiseptic properties. It helps in reducing inflammation and healing external pile wounds. It has been found to speed-up wound healing by regenerating epithelial tissue, which forms the outer layer of the skin. This means that, when applied to wounds or damaged skin, zinc calx stimulates the growth and repair of the surface tissue, leading to faster healing.
If you have hemorrhoids, your doctor may suggest using either the tablet or ointment or both depending on the severity of your symptoms.

The maximum dosage for Himalaya Pilex tablets is twice a day, usually after meals. But it's smart to talk to a doctor before you start any new medicine, just to be safe and make sure you are using it correctly for your needs.
Here’s how you can use Himalaya Pilex ointment:
Himalaya Pilex Forte ointment is to be used for internal and external haemorrhoids, anal fissures and pregnancy-induced haemorrhoids. Here are a few steps to keep in mind when applying the ointment:
Himalaya Pilex tablets work best for Grade I or Grade II piles. For more severe cases, other treatments might be needed. Himalaya Pilex medication can also be effective in treating anal fissures when detected early.
How fast Himalaya Pilex Forte ointment works can vary from person to person. It depends on things like how bad your haemorrhoids are, how your body reacts to the treatment, and how often you use it. Some people might start feeling better within a few days of using Pilex Forte ointment, whereas for others it might take a little longer.
If you are taking Himalaya Pilex tablets, try to take them at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the medicine in your body. If you accidentally forget to take your medicine at the scheduled time, take it as soon as you remember (but skip it if it's almost time for your next dose). Do not take more than two Himalaya Pilex tablets in a single day.
If you are pregnant, Himalaya Pilex tablets may not be the suitable treatment for your haemorrhoids. Consult your doctor before taking any medicine if you are pregnant.
If you are using Himalaya Pilex Forte ointment and you accidentally apply more than you should, use a clean cloth or tissue to wipe off the excess. If you forget to apply the ointment at the scheduled time, do not use more the next time – this will not make it more effective.
