Your Path to Comfort Starts Here

Anal fissures, haemorrhoids, and other anal conditions can cause pain, itching, and discomfort that affect your daily life and well-being. Seeking effective solutions can be overwhelming, especially when faced with a myriad of options and advice. But fear not – you’re not powerless in this journey. Let us shed light on a range of treatment options that can provide the relief you’re seeking.

Compounded Prescription Medication

One of the most effective ways to address anal discomfort is through compounded medications. Compounding pharmacies like ours, specialise in creating personalised medications tailored to your unique needs. Compounded creams, ointments, gels and suppositories can include ingredients like lignocaine, hydrocortisone, or witch hazel that target pain, inflammation, and healing directly at the source.

Your doctor may have prescribed:

  1. Diltiazem Ointment: Diltiazem is a pharmaceutical formulation that may be compounded into an ointment to help relax the sphincter muscle and reduce pressure on anal fissures.
  2. Nifedipine Ointment: Nifedipine is a pharmaceutical formulation that may be used topically to help relax blood vessels and alleviate discomfort.
  3. Nitro-glycerine Ointment: Nitro-glycerine can help relax the sphincter muscle and improve blood flow, which can be beneficial for anal fissures.
  4. Rectal Gels: Customised gels may contain various medications, including pain relievers and vasoconstrictors, to alleviate symptoms of haemorrhoids and anal fissures.
  5. Rectal Creams: Compounded ointments with anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents to reduce swelling and relieve pain when applied to the affected area.
  6. Topical Anaesthetics: Lignocaine, often prescribed as a numbing agent, or used in combination with one of the above ointments, for relief of localised pain or discomfort.
  7. Natural Extracts: Compounding pharmacies can create formulations using natural ingredients like calendula, chamomile, or aloe vera to soothe and heal irritated anal tissue.
  8. Hydrocortisone Suppositories: Customised suppositories containing hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and itching associated with both haemorrhoids and anal fissures.
  9. Custom-made Suppositories: Custom-made suppositories containing medications such as aloe vera, glycerin, or a combination of soothing ingredients to ease discomfort and promote healing.
  10. Combination Medications: Compounding pharmacies can create personalised combination treatments tailored to the specific needs of the patient, combining ingredients like pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and healing agents.

The Advantages of Compounded Medications:

  • Personalisation: Compounded medications are tailored to your specific condition, ensuring a precise and effective treatment.
  • Local Relief: Compounded creams and suppositories are applied directly to the affected area, providing targeted relief.

Custom Formulations: Compounding pharmacists can create unique formulations that may not be available in standard over-the-counter products. Talk to an expert!
