Cremagel-H Cream is used to treat anorectal disorders such as haemorrhoids and anal fissures. It also manages inflammation in the rectum and provides relief from post-surgical pain, offering a versatile solution for various anorectal conditions.
Apply the cream as directed by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or medications you're taking, and report any side effects immediately. Continue using it as prescribed for the best results.
Cremagel-H Cream is used for managing several health conditions such as:
Internal and external haemorrhoids
Rectal inflammation, also known as proctitis
Anal fissures, which are small tears in the lining of the anus
Alleviating post-hemorrhoidectomy pain, which is discomfort after surgery for haemorrhoids
Use Cremagel-H Cream by following these steps:
Gently clean and dry the affected anal area.
Apply a thin layer of the prescribed amount of cream to the anal area up to four times daily, particularly at night, in the morning and after each bowel movement.
Wash your hands immediately after applying.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, it's important to consult your doctor.
Cremagel-H Cream is applied topically.
Cremagel-H Cream might cause the following common side effects:
Local burning sensation
Itching in the applied area
Stinging sensation
Skin rash
Redness of skin
Swelling of skin
Headache
Dizziness
Rarely, one might experience a metallic taste or nausea.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Cremagel-H Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Local burning sensation: Applying the cream after a cool bath might help manage this side effect.
Metallic taste: If you experience this rare side effect, consider drinking citrus juices or lemonade to mitigate it.
Cremagel-H Cream contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to manage symptoms of anorectal disorders:
Sucralfate (7%): This substance reacts with gastric acid to form a sticky substance that adheres to ulcers in the digestive tract. By covering these ulcers, it protects them from further damage and aids in their healing.
Metronidazole (1%): This antibiotic helps reduce infection and inflammation in the affected area. It does this by being selectively absorbed by certain types of bacteria and protozoa, inhibiting their ability to reproduce and causing them to die off.
Lidocaine/Lignocaine (4%): This is a local anaesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals in the area where the cream is applied. By doing this, it numbs the area and provides fast relief from pain.
Together, these components provide pain relief, fight infection and inflammation, and promote tissue repair and healing.
This medicine is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the presence of metronidazole. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, ensure you discuss this with your doctor before starting to use Cremagel-H Cream.
The safety of Cremagel-H Cream during lactation has not been established. If you are a breastfeeding mother, consult your doctor before using this cream.
While applying Cremagel-H Cream, be cautious if consuming alcohol. Metronidazole in the cream may interact with alcohol, leading to unpleasant side effects. Consult your doctor for advice.
As a standard precaution, if you have any liver health issues, it's best to consult your doctor before using this cream as it contains metronidazole.
If you have any kidney health issues, ensure you discuss with your doctor before using Cremagel-H Cream.
Using machinery or driving is generally safe while applying Cremagel-H Cream as it is unlikely to affect these activities.
If you have known allergies to lidocaine, metronidazole, sucralfate or any other ingredients in the cream, avoid using Cremagel-H Cream. Allergic reactions may include skin redness, itching or irritation.
Cremagel-H Cream is recommended for adult use. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to children under 18 years of age.
Older patients should use this cream under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
Cremagel-H Cream interacts with the following medicines:
Antiarrhythmic Medicines: The lidocaine in Cremagel-H Cream can interact with antiarrhythmic agents, possibly altering their effects.
Beta-Blockers: Lidocaine may also interact with beta-blockers, potentially leading to changes in heart rate or blood pressure.
Anticoagulants: Metronidazole in Cremagel-H Cream can interact with anticoagulants like warfarin, which might increase the risk of bleeding.
Disulfiram: Consuming alcohol while using Cremagel-H Cream could result in a disulfiram-like reaction due to metronidazole.
Lithium and Phenytoin: Metronidazole might interact with these medications, possibly leading to increased levels of these drugs in your body.
There are no specific known food interactions with Cremagel-H Cream.
Cremagel-H Cream interacts with the following diseases:
Hypersensitivity: If you're hypersensitive to lidocaine, other local anaesthetics, metronidazole, sucralfate, or any excipient in Cremagel-H Cream, you may experience allergic reactions.
Dysentery, Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis: If you have any of these conditions, sucralfate in Cremagel-H Cream might worsen your symptoms.
Remember to always inform your doctor about your current health condition and any other medicines that you are taking before starting a new medicine.
The daily dose of Cremagel-H Cream should be applied as directed by your doctor. The dosage can vary depending on individual factors like the severity of your condition and how you respond to treatment. Always stick to the prescribed dosage and avoid exceeding it without consulting your doctor.
If you accidentally apply too much of Cremagel-H Cream, you might experience side effects such as local burning, itching, or a stinging sensation. In such cases, rinse the area with clean water and inform your doctor if symptoms persist.
If you forget to apply Cremagel-H Cream at the scheduled time, do it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't double up on doses without consulting your doctor.
Keep Cremagel-H Cream at a temperature not exceeding 25°C.
Do not store it in the fridge or freezer.
Make sure the tube is tightly shut after use.
Store in a place where children cannot reach it.
Always remember, use the cream before its expiry date.
For relief from symptoms of haemorrhoids and anal fissures, try to consume a high-fibre diet. This can help soften stools and reduce pressure on the rectal area.
Regular gentle exercise can also aid digestion and reduce the likelihood of constipation, lessening strain on the affected area.
