Anorelief Cream relaxes the blood vessels in the anus thus helping in the healing of anal fissures. It should be used in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor.

How it works
Anorelief Cream is a combination of two medicines: Lidocaine and Nifedipine. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain which decreases pain sensation. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works in anal fissure by blocking the action of calcium on blood vessels of anus.
Quick Tips
It is for administration into the rectum (back passage). It must not be taken by mouth. Use the applicator provided to insert a measured dose of cream into your back passage.

Tips to prevent constipation that can cause anal fissure: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Have fiber-rich food such as whole grains, oatmeal, and citrus fruits. Exercise regularly. Do not sit on the toilet for too long. Do not ignore your urge to go to the washroom.

Frequently asked questions
Does Anorelief Cream cure anal fissures?
Anorelief Cream does not cure fissures, but it provides symptomatic relief by reducing inflammation of the mucous membrane and skin, alleviating pain and itching.
Why is my fissure not healing?
Fissures typically heal within a few weeks. If they persist for longer than a few weeks, it may be due to poor oxygen supply caused by inadequate blood flow. Consult a doctor if you have been experiencing issues for an extended duration.
What should I eat and avoid in fissure?
Maintain a fiber-rich diet with vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grains to ensure soft and easy-to-pass stools. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol consumption to promote healing and prevent constipation.
Can spicy food cause fissures?
Spicy foods do not cause fissures, but they can irritate existing fissures and worsen symptoms. It is recommended to avoid consuming spicy foods if you have anal fissures.
How do you use Anorelief Cream cream?
Follow your doctor's instructions for using Anorelief Cream. Apply a small amount of ointment to the affected rectal area as directed, and follow proper insertion guidelines if using the rectal applicator.
How long does it take to heal fissures?
Fissures typically heal within a few weeks. If they persist for longer than 4-6 weeks, they are considered chronic fissures. Consult your doctor promptly if you experience prolonged symptoms or worsening conditions.
