About Anoheal Cream

Anoheal Cream is a prescription medicine primarily used to treat chronic anal fissures (persistent tears in the lining of the anus). It works by relaxing the muscles around the anal canal, reducing pain and muscle spasms while improving blood flow to support healing. In some cases, your doctor may also prescribe it to help relieve symptoms associated with haemorrhoids (piles). This treatment is most effective when used exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

You should apply Anoheal Cream consistently every day, usually two to three times daily, as directed by your doctor. Making daily dietary and lifestyle changes, such as drinking more water and eating fibre-rich foods, can significantly improve your healing results. If you are using this product, it is best applied after a bowel movement to ensure it remains on the skin for as long as possible.

Common side effects include mild headaches, temporary itching or mild irritation at the application site, or slight dizziness when standing up. If you experience severe skin irritation, an unusually slow heartbeat, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives or swelling, contact your doctor immediately.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have heart conditions or low blood pressure. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or have a severe heart block.

Avoid drinking alcohol while using this gel, as it can worsen dizziness. Always consult your doctor before using Anoheal Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an older adult.

How Anoheal Cream Works

Anoheal Cream contains diltiazem, which works by relaxing the muscles around the anal canal. It is a topical calcium channel blocker that reduces calcium entry into muscle cells, helping the muscles relax and reducing tightness. By lowering pressure inside the anal canal, Anoheal Cream helps relieve painful spasms and improves blood flow to the affected area. This increased blood supply supports the natural healing of damaged tissue.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat a high-fiber diet: Incorporate foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans into your meals to naturally soften your stool and prevent constipation.
  • Stay well-hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day to keep stools soft and easy to pass, reducing strain on the healing tear.
  • Avoid straining during bowel movements: Straining increases pressure in the anal canal and can reopen healing fissures. Avoid sitting on the toilet for prolonged periods.
  • Take warm sitz baths: Soaking your pelvic area in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes, two to three times a day, can help soothe the area, reduce muscle spasms, and improve blood flow.

Health Queries

Which medicines or topical creams are recommended for treating a painful, non-bleeding anal fissure of two weeks' duration?

Veda Maddala

For a painful, non-bleeding anal fissure lasting two weeks, treatment focuses on relaxing the muscle and relieving pain. First-line topical treatments include prescription nitroglycerin ointment or compounded diltiazem or nifedipine cream applied locally to improve blood flow and promote healing. For immediate pain relief, a topical lidocaine gel can be applied before bowel movements. Over-the-counter stool softeners or fiber supplements (like psyllium) are highly recommended to prevent straining. Additionally, taking warm sitz baths for 15 minutes twice daily helps relax the area and soothe discomfort. Please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription.

FAQs

Anoheal Cream is used to treat anal fissures. It promotes the healing of the incision in the skin of the anus (anal fissure) and reduces the symptoms of pain caused by the incision.
Anoheal Cream works by relaxing the muscle around the anus, thereby reducing the anal pressure and increasing the blood flow to the area to allow healing.
Anoheal Cream is safe if used in the dose and duration recommended by your doctor. Use precisely as directed, and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's guidelines carefully and inform your doctor if any of the side effects disturb you.
Light-headedness could be a side-effect of Anoheal Cream. If you experience this, do not try to stand up suddenly or start walking, instead lie down and get up slowly only when you feel better.
Please do not stop using Anoheal Cream without consulting your doctor on your own. Continue using Anoheal Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to treat your condition effectually. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you experience any difficulty while using Anoheal Cream.
You should only use Anoheal Cream during pregnancy if your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the potential risks. There is limited data on its safety in pregnant women. Talk to your doctor to discuss safer alternatives.
Headaches are a common side effect because a small amount of the medication can be absorbed through the skin into your bloodstream. This causes your blood vessels to relax and widen slightly, which can trigger a mild headache. If your headaches are severe or do not go away, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Clean and dry the area first. Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel using a clean finger, gloved finger, or finger cot. Gently rub it onto the skin just around the anus and slightly inside the opening if directed. Always wash your hands immediately after application. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you need further guidance.
Do not mix Anoheal Cream with other topical creams, ointments, or suppositories in the same area without consulting your doctor. Other products can interfere with how well the gel is absorbed or increase local irritation. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using multiple topical treatments.
Some mild, temporary stinging or burning can occur when you first apply the gel. However, if the burning is severe, persistent, or worsens over time, wash the area gently with water to remove the gel and stop using it. Talk to your doctor for advice on alternative treatments.
No, Anoheal Cream should not be refrigerated or frozen unless specifically instructed on the product packaging. Store it at room temperature in a dry place away from direct heat and light. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about storage.
If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or experience a headache after applying Anoheal Cream, you should avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require full alertness. If these side effects do not occur, it is generally safe to drive. Talk to your doctor if you frequently feel dizzy.
Contact your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 2 to 4 weeks, if they worsen, or if you develop severe pain or persistent bleeding. If the fissure does not heal after completing treatment, your doctor may recommend other treatment options, including surgery.
