To date, Valsacor and Iporel have not been shown to affect haemorrhoids. However, Iporel may cause, m.in, pseudo-obstruction of the large intestine and constipation. These side effects may subsequently exacerbate the symptoms of haemorrhoids.
I encourage you to report the side effects of Iporel. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over the medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:

I am attaching links that allow you to check the availability of medicines and make a reservation at the pharmacy of your choice:

If the symptoms of hemorrhoids worsen, I encourage you to consult a doctor. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

Until you consult your doctor, you can use one of the topical preparations to alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoids, available in online and brick-and-mortar pharmacies. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order the preparation with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy of your choice:
