Lidocaine belongs to the class of local anaesthetics that decreases pain sensation by preventing the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain.
Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that work by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and killing them. Thereby prevents infection in the anal region.
Sucralfate belongs to the class of protectants that work by forming a protective layer over the affected area of skin and preventing pain, irritation, or burning sensation in the anus.
