Cremagel H Cream is used in the treatment of anal fissures (small tear in the anus lining), fistula (abnormal skin opening near the anus) and piles (inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum). Anorectal disorders occur at the junction of the anal canal and the rectum, including haemorrhoids, abscesses, fistula, fissures, anal itching and warts. It is characterized by the accumulation of veins at the anus with frequent mucus and bleeding while straining for stool passage. 

Cremagel H Cream is a combination of three drugs: Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), Metronidazole (antibiotic) and Sucralfate (protectant). Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that decreases pain sensation by preventing pain signal transmission from nerves to the brain.  Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that prevents bacterial infection caused due to exposed skin surface of the anus. Sucralfate belongs to the class of protectants that form a protective layer over the affected area of skin, thereby preventing pain, burning sensation and inflammation in the anus. Thus together, Cremagel H Cream promotes the healing of fissures, helps in forming new healthy skin and minimises infection and pain around the anal canal.

Cremagel H Cream is a combination of three drugs: Lidocaine, Metronidazole, and Sucralfate. Lidocaine belongs to the class of local anaesthetics that decreases pain sensation by preventing the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain. Metronidazole belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and killing them. Thereby prevents infection in the anal region. Sucralfate belongs to the class of protectants that works by forming a protective layer over the affected area of skin and prevents pain, irritation, or burning sensation in the anus. Thus, it promotes the healing of fissures and the formation of new healthy skin.

Anal Fissure: It is a small cut or tear in the lining of the anus. Sometimes, the crack may be so deep that it exposes the muscle tissue underneath. It occurs mostly when passing hard or large stools, diarrhea, or chronic constipation. The crack in the skin leads to severe pain and bleeding during and after bowel movements. Anal fissure symptoms include sharp pain in the anal region during bowel movements, itching or burning sensation in the anal region, a visible tear in the skin around the anus, streaks of blood on stools, a skin tag or small lumps or skin next to the tear.

Piles: It occurs when anus tissue and vein become inflamed and swollen. The size of piles can vary from small to large, either found inside or outside the anus. Piles can occur due to many reasons like chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, pregnancy, lifting heavy weights, or straining when passing a stool.

Anal Fistula: It is an abnormal connection between the inside of the anal canal and the skin around the anus resulting from an injury or surgery. Infection or inflammation can also cause a fistula to form.
