Introduction About ANOSUM CREAM
ANOSUM CREAM is a combination of Lignocaine, Metronidazole and Sucralfate which belongs to the group of medicines called Local anaesthetics, Nitroimidazoles amd Cytoprotective agents. It is used in the management of bedsores (injuries that happen on areas of the skin under pressure for a prolonged time), haemorrhoids (swollen and inflamed veins in the anus that cause discomfort, bleeding and itching) and fistulae (infected tunnel between the skin and the anus).
It also helps to manage pain, swelling and discharge of blood or pus from the anus, known as anal fissures (a small cut or tear in the delicate lining of the anus that occurs when passing hard or large stools, causing pain and bleeding during bowel movements along with increased frequency).
While using ANOSUM CREAM, avoid contact with the eyes. If contact occurs, immediately wash it out with water or saline. Before using ANOSUM CREAM, inform your doctor if you have irritated skin. ANOSUM CREAM should be used with caution in pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, adolescents (below 18 years of age) and elderly patients.
The common side effects of ANOSUM CREAM are dry skin, redness, itching, skin rash, pain, a burning sensation and the appearance of red, itchy welts on the skin surface. If any of these symptoms become worse, contact your doctor for advice.
Uses Of ANOSUM CREAM
- Manage bedsores, haemorrhoids, fistulae and anal fissures
How ANOSUM CREAM Works
ANOSUM CREAM is combination of Lignocaine that causes temporary loss of sensation in the applied area, Metronidazole that exhibits its anti-inflammatory properties to promote wound healing and Sucralfate that protects eroded areas by inducing prostaglandin production and growth factor bioavailability, leading to improved blood flow. All these together help in relieving the pain and discomfort caused by bedsores, haemorrhoids, fistulae and anal fissures.
How to use ANOSUM CREAM
Apply ANOSUM CREAM as advised by your physician. It is for external use only. Wash your hands before use and if possible, use a finger covering, such as plastic wrap, cling film, a finger cot or a disposable glove, to apply for the medicine. Apply the medicine to the skin around the anus and if possible, a little inside. The correct dose and duration for you will be decided by your doctor depending on your age, body weight and disease condition.
