Medicinal Benefits:
Nitrogesic Ointment contains nitroglycerin used to treat moderate to severe pain associated with anal fissures. Nitrogesic Ointment acts by relaxing the muscles surrounding the anus (anal sphincter), lowering anal pressure and improving blood flow to the affected area. On the other hand, it also assists in relieving pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles) and haemorrhoidectomy (an operation to remove severe piles).
Nitrogesic Ointment is used to treat moderate to severe pain associated with anal fissures. Besides this, it may assist in relieving pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles) and haemorrhoidectomy (an operation to remove severe piles).
Nitrogesic Ointment works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby reducing pressure in the anal tissues. Thus, Nitrogesic Ointment treats pain and discomfort associated with anal fissures and piles.
No, it is recommended not to combine Nitrogesic Ointment with an erectile dysfunction medicine such as sildenafil or tadalafil. Using Nitrogesic Ointment with these medications leads to severe hypotension.
Headache is the most common side effect encountered while using Nitrogesic Ointment, which may be severe in some cases. If you experience a severe headache or the headache persists, consult your doctor immediately.
Heparin's effects may be reduced when combined with Nitrogesic Ointment. If you have any symptoms of a blood clot, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden loss of vision, pain, redness, or swelling in an extremity, inform your doctor. To use both medications safely, your doctor may adjust the dose as well as suggest some medical tests.
Nitrogesic Ointment is not recommended for use in people with closed-angle glaucoma (a condition where the pressure inside the eye rises rapidly, causing loss of vision). If you have any concerns, please discuss them with the doctor.
Nitrogesic Ointment can be used to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with haemorrhoids (piles) and haemorrhoidectomy (an operation to remove severe piles). However, it should be used under a doctor's supervision only.
In most cases, an anal fissure can be diagnosed with visual inspection as it is often visible. But in some cases, in addition to physical examination, the doctor can perform the following tests: anoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy.
