ANOTRIT OINTMENT
What is it used for?
Diltiazem cream is used to promote the healing of the tear that has occurred in the
skin aroung the anus (back passage) and reduce the symptoms of pain caused by the
tear.
Diltiazem hydrochloride works by relaxing the muscle around the anus. Thereby reducing the anal pressure and increasing the blood flow to the area to allow healing to
occur.
How to use?
Use the cream twice a day (morning and evening) or as directed by your doctor.
Apply a small amount on your finger (approximately 2.5cm) and place the cream just
inside the anus. A finger covering, such as cling film or a disposable glove may be
used to apply the ointment.
Wash hands after use and dispose of finger covering appropriately.
