About Ano Metrogyl Cream

Ano Metrogyl Cream is used in the treatment of anal fissures (small tear in the anus lining), fistula (abnormal skin opening near the anus) and piles (inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum). Anorectal disorders occur at the junction of the anal canal and the rectum, including haemorrhoids, abscesses, fistula, fissures, anal itching and warts. It is characterized by the accumulation of veins at the anus with frequent mucus and bleeding while straining for stool passage. 

Ano Metrogyl Cream is a combination of three drugs, namely: Lignocaine (local anaesthetic), Metronidazole (antibiotic) and Sucralfate (protectant). Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that decreases pain sensation by preventing pain signal transmission from nerves to the brain. Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that prevents bacterial infection caused due to exposed skin surface of the anus. Sucralfate belongs to the class of protectants that form a protective layer over the affected area of skin, thereby preventing pain, burning sensation and inflammation in the anus. Thus, Ano Metrogyl Cream promotes the healing of fissures, helps in forming new healthy skin and minimises infection and pain around the anal canal. 

Ano Metrogyl Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact of Ano Metrogyl Cream with nose, ears, mouth or eyes. In case Ano Metrogyl Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you need to use Ano Metrogyl Cream based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience a skin rash, mild irritation, tingling or burning sensation. Most of these side effects of Ano Metrogyl Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Ano Metrogyl Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before taking Ano Metrogyl Cream. Do not apply Ano Metrogyl Cream in large amounts or use it for a longer time than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects. Do not swallow Ano Metrogyl Cream. In case of accidental swallowing, please consult a doctor immediately.
