Clinical Overview
Lignocaine (4% w/w), Metronidazole (1% w/w), and Sucralfate (7% w/w) Cream is a specialized topical rectal formulation. Lignocaine produces rapid local analgesia by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels. Metronidazole provides topical antimicrobial activity against anaerobic rectal flora, reducing secondary infection and inflammation. Sucralfate forms an adhesive barrier over mucosal fissures and hemorrhoidal ulcers, accelerating re-epithelialization and tissue healing. Indicated for acute and chronic anal fissures, painful thrombosed hemorrhoids, and post-hemorrhoidectomy wound healing.
