Can i combine sucralcoat ano and cremagel l?
I have fissure, only cremagel l reduces spasm. But dr has prescribed both, before BM cremagel and after BM sucral
yes, you can use Cremagel-I and Sucralcoat-Ano together when they have been prescribed for an anal fissure. They serve different purposes: Cremagel-I helps reduce anal sphincter spasm and pain, while Sucralcoat-Ano helps protect and heal the fissure. Using them at different times, as your doctor has advised, is appropriate.
Next Steps
continue Cremagel-I before bowel movement and Sucralcoat-Ano after bowel movement, preferably after gently cleaning the area and drying it. Also continue adequate water and fibre intake and keep the stool soft to avoid straining.
Health Tips
If you develop increasing pain/swelling, bleeding that is significant or persistent, pus/discharge, fever, or worsening symptoms despite treatment, consult your surgeon for reassessment.

Yes, Sucralcoat Ano and Cremagel-L may be used as part of the same treatment plan for anal fissure, as prescribed by your doctor.
Both have different purposes:
1. Cremagel-L: Contains diltiazem and lignocaine, which help relax the anal sphincter, reduce spasm, and relieve pain.
2. Sucralcoat Ano: Contains sucralfate, which forms a protective layer over the affected area and may help promote healing.
You can follow your doctor's instructions to apply Cremagel-L before passing stools and Sucralcoat Ano after passing stools.
However, avoid mixing both ointments together or applying them simultaneously unless specifically advised by your doctor.
Also, take warm sitz baths for 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times daily, drink adequate water, and maintain soft stools.
I want to know how long you have been suffering from the fissure and whether you experience bleeding or severe pain after passing stools.
If your symptoms persist despite treatment, an examination by a general surgeon is recommended.
