Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Contraction of the anal sphincter and muscle spasm around the fissure prevents the healing process of anal fissures. This muscle contraction is dependent on calcium. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by blocking this calcium from entering the blood vessels, thus relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily and relaxing the muscles around the anal canal. ...
- Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. It acts on nerves and blocks the conduction of pain sensations for a short duration of time. Thereby helping in reducing pain sensation.
- A combination of this medicine helps in better healing of the anal fissure.
Directions for Use
- Wash your hands thoroughly. Wear gloves while using Fidonal cream to reduce the possibility of side effects.
- Lie down on your left side in a comfortable position with your left leg flat and your right leg bent with your knee in the air.
- Put a required quantity on your finger and spread the ointment around the anus and just inside the rectum.
- Remove gloves and wash hands.
- Follow the doctor's advice.
- Use this medicine for the duration your doctor has advised.
- It may take several weeks to heal the fissure, so your doctor may advise frequent follow-ups to check the clinical condition.
- Your doctor may advise adding fibre to your diet and may ask you to increase water intake, take relaxing baths or sitz baths.
