Other medications doctors prescribe to treat the condition include hydrocortisone acetate, Preparation H rectal, RectiCare topical and Calmo-4 rectal.

If a patient has mild discomfort due to hemorrhoids, a doctor may recommend products that contain ingredients such as hydrocortisone or hazel to relieve itching and pain, according to Mayo Clinic. Unless directed by a doctor, patients suffering from hemorrhoids should avoid using over-the-counter products for longer than a week to prevent potential side effects such as inflammation and skin rash.
