If accidental exposure occurs, wash your eyes with water and seek immediate medical attention.CremaGel-L Rectal Gel is generally well-tolerated with minimal or no side effects. However, slight anal irritation may occur as a side effect of this medicine. This is temporary and usually resolves on its own in some time. Please consult your doctor if it does not resolve or persist for a longer duration. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice worsening of the infection or develop increased redness and irritation.

How it Works

CremaGel-L Rectal Gel is a combination of two medicines: diltiazem and lidocaine. Diltiazem relaxes the smooth muscle around the rectum and promotes blood flow to help the growth of new skin over the tear in the lining of the rectum. It reduces anal canal pressure, which diminishes pain and spasm. Lidocaine provides pain relief by numbing the skin.
