Applied two to three times daily into the anal canal, it relaxes the internal anal sphincter, lowers resting anal pressure, and improves blood flow to the fissure base, allowing healing without surgery. Healing rates are 65&ndash;75 percent over 6&ndash;8 weeks. It is the preferred topical agent over <strong>nitroglycerin (GTN)<\/strong> because it causes far fewer headaches. Manufactured under WHO-GMP standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"medsbase-trust-strip\" style=\"background:#f5f6f8;border:1px solid #e1e4e8;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Waarom bestellen bij MedsBase:<\/strong> \u2714 <strong>WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikant<\/strong> \u2714 Discrete verpakking \u2714 Wereldwijde verzending \u2714 <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/reviews\/\">Geverifieerde klantbeoordelingen (1.400+ klanten)<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"medsbase-reship-line\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#444;margin:8px 0 18px;\">\ud83d\udce6 Elke bestelling is gedekt door onze <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/medsbase-re-shipment-assurance-policy\/\"><strong>Reshipment Assurance Policy<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 als uw pakket niet binnen 20 werkdagen arriveert, sturen wij het opnieuw.<\/p>\n<h3>Waarom bestellen bij MedsBase<\/h3>\n<p>Onze generieke medicijnen zijn afkomstig van WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten en worden wereldwijd verzonden in discrete, eenvoudige verpakkingen \u2014 geen medicijnnaam op de buitenkant van het pakket.

Diltiazem is preferred in most modern protocols because of fewer headaches than 0.2 percent GTN ointment. Botulinum toxin injection and lateral internal sphincterotomy are second\/third-line.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waarom bestellen bij MedsBase<\/h3>\n<p>Crema Gel is supplied from a <strong>WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikant<\/strong>. Elke bestelling wordt discreet wereldwijd verzonden en valt onder onze <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/medsbase-re-shipment-assurance-policy\/\">Reshipment Assurance Policy<\/a> &mdash; if it does not arrive within 20 business days, we reship at no cost. Topical diltiazem is preferred over GTN ointment because of a much lower headache rate (5&ndash;15 percent vs 35&ndash;50 percent for GTN) while delivering similar healing rates.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Werkingsmechanisme<\/h2>\n<p>Diltiazem is a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. Topically applied in the anal canal, it relaxes the internal anal sphincter (smooth muscle), reducing resting anal pressure (a key driver of fissure pain and ischaemia) and improving capillary perfusion of the posterior midline mucosa. Lower sphincter pressure allows the fissure to heal. Systemic absorption from a 2 percent topical preparation is small (~10 percent), so the systemic CCB effects (low BP, bradycardia, leg oedema) are minimal at standard doses.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indicaties<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Chronic anal fissure (defined as &gt; 6 weeks)<\/li>\n<li>Acute anal fissure that has not healed with sitz baths, fibre, and topical analgesia<\/li>\n<li>Post-haemorrhoidectomy painful sphincter spasm (off-label)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoe aan te vragen<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Wash hands; finger cot or glove on index finger if preferred.<\/li>\n<li>Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto the fingertip.<\/li>\n<li>Insert ~1 cm into the anal canal and spread on the fissure area; or apply to the fissure margin if internal application is too uncomfortable.<\/li>\n<li>Apply two to three times daily, ideally after a bowel motion and a sitz bath.<\/li>\n<li>Continue for 6&ndash;8 weeks. Stop once the fissure has healed (no pain, no bleeding) for at least 1&ndash;2 weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bijwerkingen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Local: itching, burning, contact dermatitis (5&ndash;10 percent)<\/li>\n<li>Systemic (uncommon): headache (5&ndash;15 percent &mdash; far less than GTN), light-headedness, palpitation<\/li>\n<li>Caution in heart block (rare with topical), severe hypotension<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjuncts &mdash; without these, the gel will not heal the fissure<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High-fibre diet:<\/strong> 25&ndash;35 g\/day from psyllium, vegetables, fruit, whole grains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adequate water intake<\/strong> (2 L\/day).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sitz baths<\/strong> 10&ndash;15 minutes after each bowel motion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stool softener<\/strong> (PEG, lactulose) if hard stools persist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No straining, no phone scrolling on the toilet.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">Veelgestelde vragen<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long until it works?<\/h3>\n<p>Pain often improves within 1&ndash;2 weeks. Complete healing of the fissure takes 6&ndash;8 weeks. Continue applying for at least 2 weeks after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does it hurt to apply?<\/h3>\n<p>The gel itself is not painful, but the fissure area is. Applying after a sitz bath relaxes the sphincter and reduces application pain. Topical anaesthetic (lidocaine 2 percent jelly) before the diltiazem can help in the first week.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use it with GTN ointment?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; both are vasodilators and stacking them increases the risk of hypotension and severe headache without improving healing rates.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if it doesn&#8217;t heal in 8 weeks?<\/h3>\n<p>Refer to colorectal surgery. Options include a higher concentration, switching to topical nifedipine, botulinum toxin injection, or lateral internal sphincterotomy (gold-standard surgery, 95 percent cure but ~5 percent risk of long-term incontinence).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is het veilig tijdens de zwangerschap?<\/h3>\n<p>Limited data. Topical absorption is small but caution is advised. Try sitz baths, fibre, lactulose, and topical anaesthetic first. Discuss with obstetric prescriber.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I have sex while using it?<\/h3>\n<p>The gel can transfer to a partner during anal contact and produce mild local effects. Wait at least 1&ndash;2 hours after application or use a barrier.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does my partner complain of headache?<\/h3>\n<p>Transferred topical CCB can cause a mild headache. Wash hands and the perianal area thoroughly before intimate contact.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will it stain underwear?<\/h3>\n<p>A thin oily film may transfer. Use a panty liner during the first 30 minutes after application.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opslag<\/h3>\n<p>Below 25&deg;C, do not refrigerate. Keep tube tightly closed. Discard 4 weeks after first opening.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wat als ik een dosis vergeet?<\/h3>\n<p>Apply when you remember and continue the schedule. Missing one or two doses does not undo healing &mdash; consistency over weeks is what matters.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Andere Maag-Darm Gezondheidsmedicijnen<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/anovate\/\">Anovate &mdash; Beclomethasone + phenylephrine + lignocaine cream<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/movicol-sachets\/\">Movicol &mdash; PEG osmotic laxative<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/duphalac\/\">Duphalac &mdash; Lactulose<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/cremalax\/\">Cremalax &mdash; Bisacodyl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/dulcolax\/\">Dulcolax &mdash; Bisacodyl<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/gastro-health\/\"><strong>Bekijk alle Maag-Darm Gezondheidsmedicijnen<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:4px;\"><strong>\u2695 Medisch disclaimer.<\/strong> This page is for informational purposes only and does not replace medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
