CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM

How CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM Works

• Diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker, relaxes the internal anal sphincter muscle when applied locally, which reduces spasm and improves blood flow to the fissure, helping it heal.
• Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that numbs the area, providing relief from the pain associated with anal fissure, particularly around bowel movements.
• This is a targeted, localised treatment - it does not have antifungal, antibacterial or corticosteroid action, and does not treat skin infections, eczema or psoriasis.

• Keep CREMAGEL L GEL 30GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store CREMAGEL L GEL 30GM at room temperature.

• **Use as Directed:** Always use CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM exactly as your doctor has prescribed. The frequency and duration of application depend on the severity of your condition. Do not use it more often or for longer than recommended, as this can increase the risk of side effects and may not improve your condition any faster. Typically, it's applied thinly to the affected area once or twice daily. Avoid occlusive dressings unless instructed by your doctor.
• **Clean and Dry the Area:** Before applying CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM, ensure the affected area is clean and thoroughly dry. This helps the cream to penetrate the skin effectively and reduces the risk of infection. Use a gentle cleanser and pat the skin dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing the area vigorously, which could cause irritation.
• **Apply a Thin Layer:** Apply a thin layer of CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM to the affected area. Using too much cream won't make it work faster or better; it can actually increase the chance of side effects. Gently rub the cream in until it disappears into the skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after application, unless you are treating your hands.
• **Avoid Contact with Eyes, Nose, and Mouth:** Be careful to avoid getting CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. The cream is for external use only and should not be ingested.
• **Monitor for Side Effects:** While CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience side effects such as burning, stinging, itching, or redness at the application site. If these side effects are severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Allergic reactions are rare but possible; seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

• CREMAGEL L CREAM 30 GM is for external use only and is unlikely to interact with food. However, it is generally advisable to avoid applying the cream to areas of skin that may come into direct contact with food, to prevent accidental ingestion.
