Hemorrelax: Biotechnological Innovation with Botox-like Effect for Hemorrhoid Treatment

Herb-Pharma AG is expanding the boundaries of anorectal care. Hemorrelax, a rectal cream and suppositories for hemorrhoids, utilizes biotechnological peptides with a botox-like effect and herbal extracts that deliver a triple action – relief, regeneration, and relaxation – for long-term patient comfort.

Innovative Approach to Anorectal Care

Swiss company Herb-Pharma AG (Zurich) presents a modern biotechnological approach to hemorrhoid care. The Hemorrelax medical device, available in the form of rectal cream and suppositories, is based on natural extracts and biotechnological peptides whose efficacy is confirmed by clinical research and modern science. Hemorrelax rectal cream is designed for external hemorrhoids, while the suppositories specifically target internal ones.

Botox-like Effect – Innovation Without Injection


Herb-Pharma AG introduces a new concept to the field of anorectal care – the botox-like effect. This effect stems from the action of biotechnological peptides contained in Hemorrelax products, which reduce excessive muscle contractions. They act as neurotransmitter modulators – binding to receptors at the neuromuscular junction and inhibiting the release of acetylcholine. This mimics the mechanism of botulinum toxin: relaxing muscle fiber tension and spasmodic contraction of the anal sphincter, thereby reducing pressure, swelling, and discomfort. The result is natural tissue regeneration and pain-free bowel movements – without injections or invasive procedures.

Triple Action for Long-term Comfort


The synergistic combination of biotechnological peptides, herbal extracts, hyaluronic acid, and lubricating components in Hemorrelax cream and rectal suppositories delivers a triple action:

  • Soothes and alleviates pain, burning, itching, and swelling.
  • Supports deep healing and reduces the risk of symptom recurrence with regular use.
  • Thanks to the aforementioned peptides with botox-like effect, relaxes muscle tension of the anal sphincter, thereby accelerating regeneration in hemorrhoids, as well as in anal fissures and rhagades (cracks and tears in the rectal area), and enabling pain-free bowel movements.

This interconnected physiological, regenerative, and relaxing effect provides both immediate relief and long-term comfort improvement.

Who Are Hemorrelax Cream and Suppositories Suitable For

The suppositories and cream are designed to accommodate even sensitive users and be a safe choice for various needs. Thanks to their gentle composition without irritating substances, they are well tolerated even by people with sensitive skin around the anus – they work soothingly and without stinging. They are also suitable for chronic hemorrhoids or anal fissures, as well as for long-term or preventive use, even when there are no acute symptoms.

Clinically Validated Quality and MDR Compliance


Hemorrelax is the result of biotechnological research and pharmaceutical precision by Herb-Pharma AG, Zurich. Clinical studies have confirmed its efficacy and high patient satisfaction. The product was developed in compliance with MDR requirements (EU 2017/745), which guarantees its safety, biocompatibility, and quality according to the latest European standards.

Thanks to the combination of scientific approach, innovative biotechnology, and clinical evidence, Hemorrelax is ready for export and professional partnerships within the EU and beyond.
