Lidocaine 2%/Nitroglycerin 0.2% Rectal Ointment is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions including angina, Raynaud's Syndrome, Interstitial Cystitis, Postherpetic Neuralgia, and Peripheral Neuropathy. This semi-solid formulation, dispensed in a tube, is intended for external application to the skin.
