Iron tablets have made me so constipated and as a result I have a very sore bottom and and return of the dreaded haemorrhoids! Anusol ok to use?

yes, it's obligatory I think, rather than just OK to use
The Dr can prescribe you anusol HC with steroid in it if the over the counter one doesn't do the trick.

Off at a gallop to the loo - thank you!

Poor thing - had the same problem. I saw doctor for a prescription as wasn't sure if any over the counter stuff was ok or not. Was given an ointment called Xyloproct which is a mixture of Lidocaine and Hydrocortisone - seemed to do the trick - so if Anusol is something similar sure you'll be fine. Good luck!
