Diabetologist 's  Response
Anusol in UK has the following ingredients: zinc oxide, bismuth oxide and balsam peru. It does not contain starch as its ingredient.
If you were using tucks suppositories having starch for reducing the symptoms of haemorrhoids, then Anusol can be an acceptable alternative.
If you were using for any other reason, please contact your caregiver for further advice.
