How Anosum Cream works

Anosum Cream is a combination of three active ingredients: metronidazole, lidocaine, and sucralfate. Metronidazole is a potent anaerobic antibacterial agent that eliminates infection-causing bacteria and helps prevent the spread of infection. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that blocks pain signals from the nerves to the brain, providing quick relief from pain, burning, and discomfort. Sucralfate is a cytoprotective agent that forms a protective barrier over the affected area, aiding in ulcer healing and promoting faster recovery of damaged tissue. Together, these ingredients relieve pain, reduce infection, and support the natural healing of the anal mucosa.

Safety advice for Anosum Cream

Warnings and precautions

For external use only, unless the pack says otherwise. See a doctor for a deep, dirty or heavily bleeding wound, an animal bite, or any wound showing signs of infection. Check that your tetanus cover is current after any dirty or penetrating wound. Finish the whole course even after you feel better. Do not drink any alcohol while taking metronidazole, ornidazole or tinidazole, or for the period after the course that your doctor states — the combination causes severe flushing, vomiting and a racing heart. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Tetracyclines stain developing teeth and are avoided in young children and in pregnancy. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses. Loose motions with high fever, blood in the stool or severe abdominal pain need a doctor, not a home remedy. Oral rehydration salts and fluids matter more than any medicine when you have loose motions — dehydration is the real danger, especially in children and older people. Take a probiotic a couple of hours apart from an antibiotic so the antibiotic does not simply kill it. Do not use an anti-motility medicine such as loperamide if you have a fever or blood in the stool.

Do not take Anosum if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for use on large burns or deep wounds without medical advice. Probiotics are used with caution in people whose immune system is significantly suppressed.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant interactions are expected. Antacids, iron, zinc and calcium reduce the absorption of tetracyclines — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner. Antibiotics reduce the effect of probiotics taken at the same time.

How to store Anosum Cream

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Some probiotic preparations ask to be refrigerated — follow the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Anosum Cream

Anosum Cream is prescribed to relieve pain, swelling, and other discomfort in the rectal area caused by fissures. In addition to using Anosum Cream, you may take warm sitz baths, which can help soothe the area and ease pain. Do not ignore the urge to defecate. Delaying bowel movements can lead to the formation of harder, larger stools that are more difficult and painful to pass. Avoid taking any oral laxatives along with Anosum Cream unless advised by your doctor. Some medicines, such as iron supplements or certain antibiotics, can make stools harder to pass. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of these. A fiber-rich diet (including wholegrain bread, cereals, fruits, and green leafy vegetables), adequate hydration with six to eight glasses of water daily, and regular physical activity are essential for maintaining healthy bowel movements and preventing constipation.
