Our treatment combines two medications: Nifedipine and Lidocaine. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax the smooth muscles in the anal sphincter, reducing spasms and improving blood flow to the area, which promotes healing. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that provides pain relief by numbing the affected area.12
Some patients may experience mild irritation or a burning sensation at the application site. Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling may occur. If you experience these symptoms, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
