The cheapest substitutes for Relif include:
- Suppositories "Hemorol". This drug has recently appeared on the pharmaceutical market and has already established itself as a worthy tool in the fight against the disease.
- "Proctosan." It is usually recommended as the very first analogue of Relief suppositories from hemorrhoids. "Proctosan" is able to cope even with the most advanced stage of the disease and eliminate its cause, and not only suppress external symptoms.
