Sucralcoat Ano Cream is used in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). It contains Sucralfate and Lidocaine. Sucralfate forms a coating over the affected area of the skin and promotes fast healing of piles. Lidocaine prevents initiation and conduction of impulses. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness, and irritation), nausea, vomiting, and allergy. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Sucralcoat Ano Cream

Sucralcoat Ano Cream belongs to the group of medicines known as 'vasoprotective', primarily indicated in the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles). Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area(the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful.

Sucralcoat Ano Cream contains two medicines, namely Sucralfate' and 'Lidocaine' (Lignocaine). Sucralfate is an anti-ulcer drug that forms a coating over the affected area of the skin and promotes piles' fast healing. Lidocaine blocks sodium ions' influx (entry) into the membrane that surrounds the nerves, thereby preventing impulses' initiation and conduction. Hence, it gives an anaesthetic effect and helps decrease the sensation of pain.

Use Sucralcoat Ano Cream as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take Sucralcoat Ano Cream as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition.  In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as reactions at the application site (burning, itching, redness, and irritation), nausea, vomiting, and allergy. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Avoid or limit the intake of alcohol while taking Sucralcoat Ano Cream. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Sucralcoat Ano Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not exceed the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Consult your doctor before taking Sucralcoat Ano Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Sucralcoat Ano Cream only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Sucralcoat Ano Cream causes drowsiness, so drive with caution. Sucralcoat Ano Cream should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking Sucralcoat Ano Cream to rule out any side effects. Dosage should be reduced in persons dealing with kidney disease.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Haemorrhoids, also known as piles, are a medical condition that happens when veins present in the anus and rectum area(the last part of the large intestine that ends up in the anus) get swell and become painful. Piles can be either internal or external. Internal haemorrhoids occur within the rectum as the rectum area has fewer pain receptors, is less troublesome, and is painful. At the same time, external haemorrhoids occur at the outside of the anus and are most painful. Some common symptoms of haemorrhoids are itching, pain, swelling, and trouble sitting. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, haemorrhoids become irritated and cause bleeding.
