Uses of Anosum Cream

Treatment of Anal fissure

Benefits of Anosum Cream

In Minor injuries
Anosum helps you deal with a minor injury at home, cleaning, protecting or soothing the area so it can heal.
In Wound care
Anosum keeps a wound clean and protected while it heals, lowering the risk of infection.
In First aid
Anosum is part of basic first aid for everyday cuts, grazes, bites and stings.
In Bacterial infection
Anosum treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection
Anosum clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection
Anosum treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection
Anosum treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
In Digestive problems
Anosum relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
In Loose motions
Anosum slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.
In Restoring gut bacteria
Anosum replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection
Anosum coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

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.

How to take Anosum Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Anosum Cream, use it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from external use. It can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. It may cause bloating and loose motions. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Anosum Cream

Most side effects of Anosum are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Local irritation
  • Redness
  • Stinging
  • Nausea
  • Metallic taste
  • Loose motions
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache
  • Bloating
  • Flatulence
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Constipation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

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.

Quick tips 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.
