     Fox News in New York is reporting that  Preparation-H,  used  by  hemmoroid  sufferers  is now the latest club  drug.  Bouncers are telling us  that  young  club men  slather the stuff up to make them look more buff.  Reports are that  Preparation-H  discarded tubes are being found in restrooms  of night clubs. 

    Prep-H  has long been used  to shrink hemmoroihdall  tissue  has also been used by women over the years to shrink puffiness around the eys  and  smooth out  " smokers"  lips.  Now this!    Gives new meaning to  "  roid  rage."   

   So fess up  bloggers  you buff guys  out there really been binge  smearing this stuff on  while giving us the impression that you've been  pumping iron  when in fact, you've been pumping a tube???

Preparation H products come in a variety of formulations. Some are water based gel; some are petroleum jelly based. They range from simple moisturizers with witch-hazel astringent to preparations containing pharmacological ingredients such as phenylephrine, pramoxine and hydrocortisone. Some also contain ingredients of uncertain properties such as aloe vera, shark liver oil and yeast extract.[2] Formulations available also vary with country.

An active ingredient in some Preparation H products is phenylephrine in a 0.25% concentration, a drug which constricts blood vessels. This drug is more commonly used as a decongestant in cold medications since restricting blood flow in the sinuses will reduce the amount of mucus they create. Since hemorrhoids are caused by inflamed blood vessels, this can reduce their size. Preparation H with hydrocortisone has only hydrocortisone as its active ingredient, in a 1% concentration. A witch hazel medicated wipe is also available under the Preparation H brand.

If you have high blood pressure, putting this on your body is like constricting all the blood vessels in your body. Don't be surprised if some of you die of a heart attack or suffer lack of oxygen to the brain. And you'll get a heavy dose of hydrocortisone which is a corticosteroid versus a metabolic steroid which is used for body building.

Good information. My 86 year old aunt has used O.Js. beauty lotion and her skin looks tight as a drum skin. That witch hazel is something else. It works!

Witch hazel is awesome. Putting that much phenyephrine and cortisone on your skin that gets absorbed into your body is not.

So Lanny--do you want us to come by and say "hi" to you Friday or will we be interfering with your job duties? We just wanted to visit with you, nothing else. I guess it would be hard to have a live chat and chat to us at the same time. Either way is fine. If it doesn't work out, I'll just sleep in.

I dunno, have you guys ever smelled that stuff? Dang it smells awful. Yes it smells like shark oil. In fact, rancid shark oil at that. I know these guys have got to be slathering on tons of cologne to mask that dang smell....LOL You think I'm kidding.

Lanny, your aunt has the right idea. Yeppers, O.J.'s beauty cream and Oil of Olay aren't that bad.

Since they're finding it in the bathrooms, I'm thinking that either (a) it's not their arm muscles they're pumping up or (b) somebody dropped the soap. heh

Sassy, a lot of beauty products were compared on the morning show that follows Fox morning news; from $300/jar to drug store products. Oil of Olay products outranked all of them for effectiveness.

W-W,
I think you're on to something. Only instead of "Pumping up" any muscles they're probably using the soothing ointment for it's intended use after the fact.. At that point I don't think they care about the smell.

Eh, they have those 'lip plumping' lip glosses, push up bras, girdles...so much for 'truth in packaging'.
