Overview Fidonal Cream

Anusol Plus cream combines two active ingredients to treat anal fissures, the painful tears in the anal lining. This dual-action formula soothes pain, reduces swelling and itching, and alleviates discomfort during bowel movements. The cream's vasodilatory properties promote healing by relaxing anal blood vessels. Always follow your physician's instructions regarding dosage and treatment duration; abrupt discontinuation may worsen symptoms. Before application, ensure the affected area is clean and dry, and wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth; in case of accidental exposure, rinse eyes thoroughly and seek medical advice. While generally well-tolerated, minor, transient anal irritation is a possible side effect, usually resolving spontaneously. Persistent or severe irritation warrants medical consultation. Report any worsening of infection, increased redness, or intensified irritation to your doctor immediately.

FAQs on Fidonal Cream

Fidonal Cream doesn't cure fissures, but it eases inflammation in mucous membranes and skin. This reduces irritation, pain, and itching, offering symptomatic relief.
Most fissures heal within weeks. However, inadequate blood supply—and therefore insufficient oxygen—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 help soften stools for easier passage. If digestion is difficult, laxatives or fiber supplements may be considered. Your doctor can recommend strategies to prevent constipation and facilitate fissure healing.
Spicy food doesn't cause anal fissures, but it can aggravate them, increasing discomfort. Avoid spicy foods if you have fissures.
Before using Fidonal Cream, follow your doctor's instructions. Apply a small amount to the affected rectal area as directed. For rectal use, attach the applicator to the tube, gently insert it fully, and slowly squeeze the tube 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 medical attention. See your doctor promptly if your fissure persists beyond four weeks.
