How can I purchase Calmol 4®?
Calmol 4® is available over the counter at any pharmacy. If your local pharmacy, supermarket, or mass merchandiser does not stock Calmol 4® on shelf, simply ask the pharmacist to special order Calmol 4® through the pharmacy’s regular wholesaler. This is a routine request and they will have Calmol 4® available for you the next day. To save time, we recommend phoning the pharmacy and having them order for you.
Calmol 4® is available on shelf in select CVS stores.
Calmol 4® is also available online at CVS.com, Walmart.com and Amazon.com.
Calmol 4 may not be available from online retailers during summer months. Stock up during cooler months to avoid melting during shipping
What are the common causes of Hemorrhoids?
- Standing or sitting for prolonged periods of time can cause hemorrhoids due to increased pressure on anorectal veins.
- Constipation and the force of straining to push along hard dry material can put extra pressure on the anorectal veins.
- Excess body weight can also put pressure on the anorectal veins.
- Pregnancy and an enlarged womb and increased blood supply can raise the pressure within the anorectal veins. In addition, the hormones in a pregnant woman tend to relax supporting muscles, increasing pressure on the lower anorectal veins as the baby grows.
How do Calmol 4® Hemorrhoidal Suppositories work?
