Proktis-M Review: The Hyaluronic Acid Rectal Suppository, Without the Claims
Proktis-M is a non-steroidal rectal suppository with hyaluronic acid, sold at $29.99, and it is not an OTC drug: there is no Drug Facts panel, no named active with a labeled purpose, and no use we can quote. The listing describes it in the maker's words as for healing of the anus and rectum; we describe it as a lubricating, moisturizing suppository and stop there. The count is not published on the listing. Preparation H at about 75 cents, Calmol 4 at about $1.01 and Anusol at about $1.08 are the OTC benchmarks. Prices verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026.

Doctor Butler's Review: The Lidocaine and Phenylephrine Ointment, and the Rest of the Line
Buy the Hemorrhoid and Fissure Ointment at $19.99. The listing title states lidocaine and phenylephrine HCl, which puts it on the shelf with Preparation H's lidocaine cream at $26.58 and Curist's 6 oz tube at $24.00. The Advanced ointment, the witch hazel spray, and the 12 to-go packets round out a line that is external-only and carries the full phenylephrine ask-a-doctor list. Tube sizes and percentages are not published on the listings. Prices verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026.

Best Lidocaine Hemorrhoid Creams (2026): Preparation H, Doctor Butler's and Curist Compared
Buy Preparation H Hemorrhoid Symptom Treatment Cream with Lidocaine, 1 oz, at $26.58 if you want the name brand in a small tube; buy Curist Fissure Hemorrhoid Cream, 5% lidocaine and phenylephrine, 6 oz, at $24.00 if you want the same class of product at about $4.00 an ounce. Lidocaine is the OTC active a label may describe as relieving hemorrhoid pain, and this page ranks every credible tube, ointment, packet and wipe that carries it.

Buyer's Guide
Anal Fissure Treatments You Can Buy OTC (2026): Doctor Butler's, Curist, PROKTIS-M and the Cleansers
Buy Doctor Butler's Hemorrhoid & Fissure Ointment at $19.99 for the pain, Balneol Cleansing Lotion at $15.98 so wiping stops reopening it, and a warm sitz bath for the rest. That is the over-the-counter fissure routine, and this page is honest about its limits: no OTC product is labeled to heal a fissure, the word fissure appears on listing titles rather than Drug Facts panels, and a fissure that bleeds or lasts more than a week is a doctor's business per every label here.
