FAQs
Xylocaine NF Cream is used in the treatment of anal fissures (tears in the lining of the anus).
Xylocaine NF Cream is a combination of two different drugs: Lidocaine and Nifedipine. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. It blocks pain signals from the nerves to the brain, decreasing the pain sensation. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works in anal fissures by blocking the action of calcium on the blood vessels of the anus. Altogether the Xylocaine NF Cream works by relaxing the smooth muscles around the anus area and promoting the proper blood flow in that region that helps to heal the fissure quickly. Xylocaine NF Cream also reduces the anal canal pressure, which diminishes the pain and spasm in the anal region.
A person with severe heart block or heart rhythm disorder is not allowed to use this medicine as it may lead to serious side effects.
Xylocaine NF Cream belongs to a category of local anaesthesia that acts by blocking the nerve signals of a particular body area. In this way, this medicine numbs the specific area of the body and reduces the pain associated with anal fissures. Thus, the person does not feel pain anymore.
A person of age 65 or older should use Xylocaine NF Cream with caution, as directed by the doctor, as the chances of occurrence of side effects increase in older people.
No, Xylocaine NF Cream does not cure fissures, but it decreases inflammation of the mucous membrane and the skin. It reduces discomfort, reduces pain and itching, providing symptomatic relief.
Apply the missed portion as soon as you recall it. However, if it is time for another application, avoid the missed dose and proceed with your regular dosing plan. Try not to apply this medication frequently or more than the prescribed dose to relieve anal fissure problems, as this medicine gets absorbed through the skin and may lead to serious side effects.
Be careful and check that no injury occurs in the numb area as you will not feel the pain, but it will still hurt you the most after the action of Xylocaine NF Cream ends.
Anal fissure generally occurs due to trauma or injury in the anal canal. The possible reasons for anal fissures include constipation, ongoing diarrhoea, and childbirth.
As Xylocaine NF Cream is used externally on the skin it is less likely to interact with other medicines. However, you should always consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines such as cough cold medicines, medicine for high blood pressure, medicines for migraine, and medicine to dissolve a blood clot.
Before using Xylocaine NF Cream, clean the affected area with gentle soap and water. Then rinse and pat dry the area. Gently fill the medication in the applicator and insert it just 1/2 to 1 inch inside the anus area. Also, apply the drug to the anal opening as advised by the doctor. To apply the medicine to the outside region of the anus, one should apply a small amount of Xylocaine NF Cream to the affected area by gently rubbing it. Wash the hands immediately after using. Avoid the contact of the Xylocaine NF Cream with the nose, ears, eyes, or mouth.
In most cases, fissures usually heal within a few weeks. But if they are not, it is due to the poor oxygen supply to these fissures which further slows down the healing process. Thus, these fissures fail to heal and continue to worsen. If you have been facing issues for more than a few weeks, you should consult a doctor immediately.
If you have fissures, you must eat a fiber-rich diet such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol consumption to ensure that your stools are soft and easy to pass. If you are facing issues with digestion, you may also take fiber supplements or laxatives. Your doctor will recommend ways to avoid constipation and thereby promote healing of fissures.
No, spicy foods do not cause fissures. However, they can irritate the fissures and worsen your symptoms. Therefore, it is advised to avoid eating spicy foods if you are facing problems with your fissures.
Usually, fissures heal within a few weeks. But, if they persist for longer than 4 to 6 weeks, they are referred to as chronic fissures. Please consult your doctor immediately if you have been noticing fissures for more than 4 weeks.
You are recommended to take your doctor’s advice before using Xylocaine NF Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you have severe kidney or liver disease, consult your doctor before using Xylocaine NF Cream. Also, let your doctor know if you take any other medicines or supplements.
Xylocaine NF Cream may cause side effects such as application site reactions, itching, swelling, tingling sensation, or rash. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
