Does Venapro Work On Hemroids?
Well, quite possibly it does, but since Venapro is a homeopathic hemorrhoid remedy, it is not approved by the FDA meaning that it has not under gone the rigorous testing that is required by the FDA for traditional medicines. According to the official Venapro website, the ingredients are as follows – Horse Chestnut, Arnica, Fluoride of Lime, St. Mary’s Thistle, Stone Root, Witch Hazel, Muriatic Acid, Krameria’Mapato, alcohol and purified water.
Some of these nutritional supplements have been used for years in homeopathic medicines and may prove helpful to many hemorrhoid sufferers. For example, some studies have shown that horse chestnut does work to reduce swelling and therefore would naturally provide some hemorrhoid relief. In addition horse chestnut also may improve and strengthen vein walls leading to a reduction in hemroid flare ups. Many of these ingredients are thought to exhibit similar properties to the horse chestnut, improving veins, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and just generally reducing hemroid symptoms. According to the Venapro website, the alcohol and purified water are used for preservation and serve no medicinal purpose.
The Venapro website contains this usage information:

Summary
Unfortunately our society has pushed homeopathic medicine to the back burner sometimes to the point that it seems in favor of big pharmaceutical companies. Since “medicines” are closely regulated and controlled by the FDA, Venapro can’t make any health claims. This is to stop the wholesale practice of scam artists hawking miracle cures like back in the Old West when scam artists would roll into town purporting to cure all manner of diseases with people “miraculously” being cured of blindness, physical ailments, and general malaise. This lack of testing doesn’t necessarily mean that Venapro doesn’t work – maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. I can’t say with any authority that Venapro is a miracle cure for hemroids because even Venapro can’t make that claim. My only advice is to discuss it with you doctor. And please be advised that even natural homeopathic medicines can have side effects and interact with any prescription medications you are taking, so this really does need to be discussed with your doctor.
