Rectogesic

Each gram of Rectogesic ointment contains 0.2% glyceryl trinitrate as the active ingredient. The ointment also contains other ingredients such as liquid paraffin, lanolin, and white soft paraffin. These components work together to provide relief from anal fissure symptoms.

Common side effects of Rectogesic may include headache, dizziness, and skin irritation at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include severe headaches, fainting, and allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help right away.

It is important to avoid using Rectogesic if you have a history of allergy to glyceryl trinitrate or any other ingredients in the ointment. This medication is not recommended for use in children or pregnant women unless prescribed by a healthcare provider. If you have a history of heart conditions or are taking medications such as blood thinners, consult your healthcare provider before using Rectogesic to ensure it is safe for you.
