Product introduction

Anofresh 3X Cream is a combination of two medicines used in the treatment of anal fissures (tear in the lining of anus). It relieves the pain, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with the passing of stools in people who suffer from problems in the anal area.

Anofresh 3X Cream relaxes the blood vessels in the anus as well as forms a coating over the affected area thus helping in healing of anal fissures. It should be used in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area before applying this medicine. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not use your finger to apply this medicine. Do not stop using it suddenly without talking to your doctor, as it may lead to worsening of your condition.

This medicine is generally well tolerated with minimal or no side effects. However, slight anal irritation may occur on application of the medicine. This is temporary and usually resolves on its own in some time. Please consult your doctor if it does not resolve or persists for a longer duration.

Avoid getting it into your eyes, nose or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, wash your eyes with water and seek immediate medical attention. You should stop using it and inform your doctor if you notice worsening of the infection or if you develop increased redness and irritation.

Benefits of Anofresh 3X Cream

In Treatment of Anal fissure

Anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus that may occur when you pass hard or large stools. Anal fissures typically cause pain while passing stools. Anofresh 3X Cream has a numbing agent that decreases pain sensation at the affected area and helps in passing the stools easily. It also has antibiotic property and prevents any infections in the anal area. Applying Anofresh 3X Cream gives relief from pain, swelling, irritation, itching or burning sensation caused by anal fissure. It promotes healing and and helps faster recovery. Make sure to avoid spicy, oil-rich food and take plenty of fibers to aid in digestion and ensure speedy recovery.

How to use Anofresh 3X Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Anofresh 3X Cream works

Anofresh 3X Cream is a combination of three medicines: Lidocaine, Metronidazole and sucralfate. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain which decreases pain sensation. Metronidazole is an antibiotic that kills any harmful bacteria in the anal region and prevents infections. Sucralfate is a protective agent that forms a protective layer on the skin of the anal region and prevents any irritation, pain or burning sensation in the anus. This promotes wound healing and formation of new healthy skin.
