Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Lidocaine 3%/Nifedipine 0.4% Rectal Ointment is a semi-solid preparation, dispensed in a tube for external application. It is specifically designed for localized treatment of conditions such as anal fissures, anal pruritus, anal pain, hemorrhoids, and anal itching. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the delivery of the therapeutic agents, Lidocaine and Nifedipine, to the affected area.

Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, functions by blocking nerve signals in the affected area, thereby providing relief from pain and itching. On the other hand, Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the blood vessels. This allows the vessels to widen, reducing pressure in the affected area. The combination of these two active ingredients has been proven effective in alleviating pain, itching, and inflammation associated with the aforementioned conditions.

Patients are advised to apply the ointment to the affected area up to four times daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used for more than 7 days without consulting a healthcare provider. Potential side effects may include skin irritation or a burning sensation at the application site. If any of these side effects occur, patients should discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider immediately.

It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please consult with your healthcare provider.
