Overview Dilgel

Anusol HC (Dilgel's active ingredient) treats anal fissures—tears in the anal lining. It eases anal sphincter muscle tension, improving blood flow to the affected tissue. This facilitates healing and symptom relief. Apply topically only to a clean, dry area. Follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. Reduce strenuous activity, prolonged standing, and sitting during treatment. Common side effects include application site reactions (burning, itching, redness, irritation), dizziness, rectal bleeding, and headaches. Less frequent, potentially serious side effects exist; consult your physician and review the accompanying patient information for comprehensive safety details.

FAQs on Dilgel

Dilgel doesn't cure fissures, but it soothes inflamed mucous membranes and skin. By reducing irritation and pain, it offers symptomatic relief from itching.
Most fissures heal within weeks. However, inadequate blood supply—and thus oxygen—to the fissure can impede healing, causing the fissure to worsen. Seek medical attention if your fissure persists beyond a few weeks.
A high-fiber diet, including vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, is crucial for managing anal fissures. Adequate water intake and alcohol avoidance are also important for promoting soft, easy bowel movements. If needed, laxatives or fiber supplements can aid digestion. Your doctor can provide further advice on preventing constipation to facilitate fissure healing.
Spicy food doesn't cause anal fissures, but it can aggravate them, so it's best to avoid spicy dishes if you have fissures.
Before using Dilgel, follow your doctor's instructions. Apply a small amount of gel to the affected rectal area, or, for rectal use, attach the applicator to the tube. Gently insert the applicator fully into the rectum, then slowly squeeze the tube to dispense the medication while withdrawing the applicator.
Most anal fissures heal within a few weeks. However, fissures lasting longer than 4-6 weeks are considered chronic and require prompt medical attention. See your doctor if a fissure persists beyond four weeks.
Avoid contact with Dilgel's ingredients. If eye contact occurs, immediately flush with water and consult your doctor. Do not use Dilgel if allergic to it or its components; report any allergic reactions to your doctor, especially upon first use. Disclose all regular medications to your doctor to prevent adverse interactions. Do not bandage treated areas; this may increase absorption and side effects. Use only the recommended amount; exceeding it won't hasten relief but may worsen side effects. Inform your doctor if you are planning pregnancy.
