Phenyleph-Shark Liv Oil-MO-Pet

Pronounced

"FEN-il-EF-rin"

Uses

This medication is used to temporarily relieve swelling, burning, pain, and itching caused by hemorrhoids. It contains phenylephrine, which belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetic amines. It works by temporarily narrowing the blood vessels in the area. This effect decreases swelling and discomfort.

Some products may also contain substances (such as cocoa butter, hard fat, mineral oil, shark liver oil) that form a protective barrier to prevent too much irritating contact with stool.

Do not use this product in children 12 years or younger without talking with the doctor.
