CremaGel-L Rectal relaxes the blood vessels in the anus thus helping in the healing of anal fissures. It should be used in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. Do not stop using it suddenly, as it may lead to worsening of your condition.

How CremaGel-L Rectal Gel Works
CremaGel-L Rectal is a combination of two medicines: diltiazem and lidocaine. Diltiazem relaxes the smooth muscle around the rectum and promotes blood flow to help the growth of new skin over the tear in the lining of the rectum. It reduces anal canal pressure, which diminishes pain and spasm. Lidocaine provides pain relief by numbing the skin.
