Anaproct Ointment

Description

Anaproct Ointment is a topical medicine used in the treatment of hemorrhoids (piles), anal fissures, and anorectal inflammation. It contains a unique combination of four active ingredients that provide quick relief from pain, itching, swelling, and irritation in the rectal area.

• Hydrocortisone (0.25% w/w): A mild corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and inflammation.

• Zinc Oxide (5% w/w): Acts as a protective barrier, promotes healing, and prevents infection in the affected area.

• Lidocaine (3% w/w): A local anesthetic that provides fast-acting relief from pain, burning, and itching.

• Allantoin (0.5% w/w): Promotes healing of damaged skin and soothes irritation.

Together, these ingredients relieve discomfort and improve healing in anorectal conditions, making bowel movements less painful and reducing the risk of further irritation.

Uses

• Relief from pain, itching, and swelling associated with hemorrhoids (piles)

• Management of anal fissures and anorectal irritation

• Promotes faster healing of inflamed or damaged rectal tissue

• Provides protective action against infection and skin breakdown

How to Use
Wash and dry the affected area before applying the ointment. Apply a thin layer of Anaproct Ointment as directed by your doctor, usually two to three times daily or after each bowel movement. For internal use, an applicator may be provided. Always wash your hands before and after application.

Dosage
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the condition and medical advice. Do not use more than the prescribed amount.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience mild burning, irritation, or itching at the application site. Rarely, allergic reactions like rash, redness, or swelling may occur. Long-term use of corticosteroids (hydrocortisone) may lead to skin thinning in the affected area. If side effects persist or worsen, seek medical advice.

Precautions

• For external use only; do not ingest.

• Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision, as it may cause local side effects.

• Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or rectal infections before use.

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use it only if clearly prescribed.

• Follow lifestyle advice such as high-fiber diet, adequate water intake, and avoiding constipation to support healing.

Anaproct Ointment, when used correctly, provides effective relief from the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids and anal fissures while promoting healing of sensitive rectal tissues.
