Sucralcoat Ano Cream is used in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). It contains Sucralfate and Lidocaine. Sucralfate forms a coating over the affected area of the skin and promotes fast healing of piles. Lidocaine prevents initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness, and irritation), nausea, vomiting, and allergy. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Sucralcoat Ano Cream

Apply Sucralcoat Ano Cream, a topical cream with sucralfate and lidocaine, to relieve pain and promote healing of anal fissures. Learn how to use it safely.

For best results, you should apply this medication consistently at the same times each day, typically two to three times daily as directed by your healthcare provider. It is applied topically to the clean, dry affected area, often after a bowel movement or a warm bath. Making dietary changes, such as eating more high-fibre foods and drinking plenty of water, can significantly support the healing process by preventing constipation.

Some people may experience mild, temporary side effects like localised itching, redness, or a slight burning sensation where the cream is applied. While these are usually harmless, you should stop using the cream and consult your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain, swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction such as skin rashes or breathing difficulties.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this medicine if you have certain health conditions, such as severe liver damage or deep, open wounds. Do not use this medicine if you have a known allergy to any of its active components or local anaesthetics.

This cream can interact with other topical medications or certain heart medicines, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all products you use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or elderly, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this treatment is safe for your specific situation.

Uses of Sucralcoat Ano Cream

Sucralcoat Ano Cream is a topical combination medicine used to protect damaged tissues while providing local pain relief. It is commonly prescribed for the following conditions:

  • Anal fissures: Sucralcoat Ano Cream forms a protective barrier over the tear in the lining of the anus, shielding it from irritation while numbing the area to ease pain during bowel movements.
  • Haemorrhoids (piles): Sucralcoat Ano Cream reduces pain, swelling, and discomfort associated with inflamed veins in the rectal area.
  • Skin wounds or ulcers: Sucralcoat Ano Cream helps by coating the raw, damaged skin surface to protect it from external irritants and provides local pain relief.
     

Key Benefits

This medication offers highly targeted, local relief to help you manage painful conditions comfortably. By combining protective and pain-relieving actions, it brings several key benefits to your recovery process:

  • Rapid pain relief: The local anaesthetic effect works within minutes to numb the treated area, making sitting, walking, and bowel movements much more comfortable.
  • Accelerated healing: By physically covering the wound, it protects the delicate tissue from friction and bacteria, allowing the body to repair itself more efficiently.
  • Reduced localised irritation: The barrier effect prevents acidic stools or bodily fluids from irritating raw tissues, reducing the cycle of muscle spasms and pain.

How Sucralcoat Ano Cream Works

Sucralcoat Ano Cream contains two active medicines , sucralfate and lidocaine, that work together to relieve pain and promote the healing of anal fissures, wounds, and other damaged skin or mucosal tissues. Sucralfate is a protective healing agent that binds to the damaged tissue and forms a protective, gel-like barrier over the affected area. This barrier helps shield the wound from irritation caused by bacteria, friction, and other harmful substances, creating a favourable environment for natural healing. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that works by blocking pain signals from the nerves in the affected area. This temporarily numbs the tissue, providing fast relief from pain, burning, itching, and discomfort. Together, these medicines help protect damaged tissue, reduce pain and irritation, and support faster healing.
