Rectogesic (Glyceryl Trinitrate) ointment is a prescription treatment for the pain caused by chronic anal fissures. It works by relaxing the internal anal sphincter muscle. This action reduces pressure and improves blood flow to the area, which helps the fissure to heal and provides lasting pain relief.

What is Rectogesic?

Rectogesic is a topical ointment containing the active ingredient glyceryl trinitrate, also known as nitroglycerin. This prescription medication is specifically formulated to treat chronic anal fissures in adults. Rectogesic ointment helps to relieve the moderate to severe pain associated with this condition. By applying it directly to the affected area, it provides targeted relief. The treatment helps improve blood circulation to the fissure. This process supports the body’s natural healing abilities.

How does Rectogesic work?

Rectogesic works by relaxing the smooth muscle of the internal anal sphincter. Anal fissures often persist because of spasms in this muscle. These spasms reduce blood flow, preventing the fissure from healing and causing significant pain. The glyceryl trinitrate in Rectogesic is absorbed through the skin and releases nitric oxide. This chemical signal causes the blood vessels to widen and the sphincter muscle to relax. This dual action reduces pressure, increases blood flow to the tissues, and allows the fissure to heal over time.

Who is Rectogesic for?

Rectogesic is intended for adults who are suffering from the pain of a chronic anal fissure. This condition is a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. It is typically for patients who have not found relief from simpler measures. These measures include increased fiber intake and sitz baths. The ointment is a non-surgical option for managing fissure pain. It is ideal for those seeking to avoid more invasive procedures. Always consult a healthcare professional to see if this is right for you.

Dosage and administration

Rectogesic should be applied according to your doctor’s specific instructions for your condition. A measured dose is typically applied intra-anally using a finger covering. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. The usual frequency is every 12 hours, but you must follow your prescribed schedule. Do not exceed the recommended dose. To minimize side effects like headaches, you can apply the ointment while sitting or lying down. Consistent use is key for the medication to be effective and for the fissure to heal properly.

Side effects

Rectogesic may cause some side effects, and the most common one is a headache. This occurs because the medication widens blood vessels throughout the body, not just at the application site. Other possible side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, and flushing. You might also experience mild itching or burning where the ointment is applied. Most side effects are manageable and may decrease over time. If you experience severe or persistent headaches, fainting, or an allergic reaction, contact your doctor immediately for advice.
