Rectogesic

To use Rectogesic, apply a small amount of ointment to the affected area around the anus as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully to avoid using too much of the medication. Your healthcare provider will advise you on the frequency of application and any limitations on its use. If you experience any unusual side effects or if your symptoms worsen, contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.

Each gram of Rectogesic ointment contains 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate as the active ingredient. The ointment also contains other ingredients such as liquid paraffin, lanolin, and white soft paraffin. These components work together to provide relief from anal fissure symptoms.

Common side effects of Rectogesic may include headache, dizziness, and skin irritation at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include severe headaches, fainting, and allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help right away.

It is important to avoid using Rectogesic if you have a history of allergy to glyceryl trinitrate or any other ingredients in the ointment. This medication is not recommended for use in children or pregnant women unless prescribed by a healthcare provider. If you have a history of heart conditions or are taking medications such as blood thinners, consult your healthcare provider before using Rectogesic to ensure it is safe for you.
