Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This Lidocaine 2%/Nifedipine 0.2% Topical/Rectal Ointment is a semi-solid formulation designed for external application to the skin or rectal area.

This formulation is typically used for conditions such as Anal Fissure, Anal Pruritus, Anal Pain, Hemorrhoids, and Anal Eczema.

Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, works by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, providing relief from pain and itching.

This combination of medications helps to reduce inflammation, pain, and itching associated with these conditions.

It is important to note that this formulation should not be used for more than 7 days without consulting a healthcare provider. This formulation may cause skin irritation and should be used with caution. If any adverse reactions occur, patients should discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider immediately.

For Hemorrhoids, the ointment should be applied rectally twice daily.
