Anaproct Ointment 15 gm

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

• Haemorrhoids (piles): Anaproct Ointment helps reduce the intense itching, swelling, and throbbing pain caused by swollen veins in the rectal area.
• Anal Fissures: This ointment numbs the sharp pain associated with small tears in the rectal lining and supports faster healing of the skin.

Anaproct Ointment provides rapid, multi-action relief to help you return to your daily activities without discomfort. By targeting pain and inflammation directly at the source, it helps you feel better quickly and makes sitting, walking, and bowel movements much more comfortable.

• Immediate pain relief: It numbs the area rapidly, taking away the sharp, burning pain of inflamed tissues.
• Reduced swelling and itching: It calms the body's inflammatory response, which visibly reduces swelling and stops the urge to scratch.
• Protective skin barrier: It coats the sensitive rectal skin, shielding it from friction and the irritating effects of bowel movements.
• Support for skin healing: It moisturises and encourages skin cells to repair, helping minor tears and abrasions close faster.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Check the label for directions and use it as advised.
• Apply the prescribed amount of Anaproct Ointment using the applicator onto the rectal area.
• Wash your hands after applying Anaproct Ointment.

• Eat more fibre: Increase your intake of high-fibre foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans to soften your stool and prevent constipation.
• Drink plenty of fluids: Stay hydrated by drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water daily to make bowel movements easier to pass.
• Avoid straining: Do not strain or hold your breath during bowel movements, as this increases pressure on rectal veins and worsens haemorrhoids.
• Take warm sitz baths: Soak your pelvic area in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes two or three times a day to soothe irritation and relax rectal muscles.
• Keep the area clean: Use moist wipes or a bidet instead of dry toilet paper to clean yourself gently after a bowel movement.

• Use only for the recommended duration: Do not use Anaproct Ointment for longer than 7 days unless your doctor advises you to continue. Prolonged or excessive use may cause skin thinning and increase the absorption of hydrocortisone into the bloodstream.
• Clean the applicator after each use: Wash the applicator nozzle with warm water and mild soap after each rectal application. Rinse and dry it thoroughly before storing.
• Check the tube before use: Do not use the ointment if the seal is broken, the packaging is damaged, or the ointment has changed in colour or appearance.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth: If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with clean water.
• Do not apply to infected or severely damaged areas: Consult your doctor before using the ointment on open wounds, actively bleeding anal fissures, or areas with signs of infection.
• Use in children only under medical supervision: Do not use this ointment in children unless it has been prescribed or recommended by a doctor.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms continue: Contact your doctor if your symptoms do not improve within 7 days, keep returning, or if rectal bleeding continues. Further examination or a medical procedure may be needed.
