Diltigesic Organogel 30gm

Diltigesic Organogel

DILTIGESIC ORGANOGEL contains diltiazem which belongs to a group of medicines called calcium-channel blockers.
It is used to promote healing and reduce the pain in anal fissure. An anal fissure is a small cut or tear that has occurred in the skin inside your anus.
Symptoms may include severe and sharp pain, irritation and tenderness. Certain fissures may heal quickly, while others can take several months to heal.

Local application of DILTIGESIC ORGANOGEL causes inhibition of extracellular calcium influx across the smooth muscle cell membranes present on the application site (anus).
This reduced intracellular calcium concentrations will increase muscle relaxation and reduces pressure and increases blood flow to the area to allow healing to occur.

The most common side effects of taking this medicine are headache, light-headedness or dizziness, local itching, soreness or rectal bleeding.

Your doctor will let you know how long you should continue treatment for. In most cases this will be for six to eight weeks.

Apply the gel just inside and around the anus (back passage) as instructed by your doctor. A finger covering such as cling film, disposable glove or finger cot may be used to apply the gel.

FAQs

Q. Does Diltigesic Organogel cure anal fissures?

No, it does not cure fissures but Diltigesic Organogel reduces inflammation of mucous membrane and skin. It reduces irritation, alleviates pain and itching, thus providing relief from symptoms.

Q. Why is my fissure not healing?

Fissures usually heal within a few weeks. But if they do not, this is because the oxygen supply, carried by the blood, to these fissures is poor which further slows down the healing process. As a result, these fissures fail to heal and continue to get worse. You should consult a doctor immediately if you have been facing issues for a duration longer than a few weeks.

Q. What should I eat and avoid in fissure?

You must take a fiber-rich diet such as vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains if you have fissures. Drink plenty of water and avoid taking alcohol. This will help ensure that your stools are soft and easy to pass. You may also take laxatives or fiber supplements if you are facing issues with digestion. Your doctor will suggest ways to avoid constipation and thereby promote healing of fissures.

Q. Can spicy food cause fissures?

No, spicy foods do not cause fissures. But, they can irritate the fissures and worsen your symptoms. Therefore, it is advised to avoid spicy foods if you are facing issues with your fissures.
