About LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM

LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM is used to treat anal fissures, haemorrhoids, and other related rectal or anal discomforts. An anal fissure is an incision in the anus or anal canal lining. The sign of an anal fissure is pain during or after a bowel movement.

LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM contains Lidocaine and diltiazem. Lidocaine relieves pain by temporarily numbing the skin or the area where it is applied. diltiazem works by relaxing the muscle around the anus (anal sphincter), reducing anal pressure, and increasing blood flow to the area for healing.

Sometimes, LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM may cause side effects like application site reactions (burning sensation, itching), headache, nausea, lightheadedness, or dizziness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM is for external use only. Inform your doctor if you have had an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients of LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. LIDOCAINE+DILTIAZEM may cause light-headedness or dizziness; hence, it is recommended not to drive or operate machinery until you are mentally alert.

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Anal fissure: Anal fissure is a small tear in the mucosa that lines the anus, which causes pain and bleeding during or after a bowel movement. Anal fissures generally heal independently, and if the condition lasts for more than 8 weeks, it can be considered chronic. Sometimes, surgery may also be needed depending on the condition. Symptoms include tear of skin around the anus region, burning sensation, pain, and blood during a bowel movement.
