⚡ Quick Answer — What is Crema Gel?
Crema Gel este topical diltiazem 2 percent w/w (30 g tube) — a calcium channel blocker formulated for chronic anal fissure. 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 65–75 percent over 6–8 weeks. It is the preferred topical agent over nitroglycerin (GTN) because it causes far fewer headaches. Manufactured under WHO-GMP standards.

De ce să comanzi de la MedsBase
Crema Gel is supplied from a producător certificat WHO-GMP. Every order ships discreetly worldwide and is covered by our Politica noastră de Reexpediere Garantată — 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 (5–15 percent vs 35–50 percent for GTN) while delivering similar healing rates.
Mechanism
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.
Indicații
- Chronic anal fissure (defined as > 6 weeks)
- Acute anal fissure that has not healed with sitz baths, fibre, and topical analgesia
- Post-haemorrhoidectomy painful sphincter spasm (off-label)
Cum să aplicați
- Wash hands; finger cot or glove on index finger if preferred.
- Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto the fingertip.
- 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.
- Apply two to three times daily, ideally after a bowel motion and a sitz bath.
- Continue for 6–8 weeks. Stop once the fissure has healed (no pain, no bleeding) for at least 1–2 weeks.
Efecte secundare
- Local: itching, burning, contact dermatitis (5–10 percent)
- Systemic (uncommon): headache (5–15 percent — far less than GTN), light-headedness, palpitation
- Caution in heart block (rare with topical), severe hypotension
Adjuncts — without these, the gel will not heal the fissure
- High-fibre diet: 25–35 g/day from psyllium, vegetables, fruit, whole grains.
- Adequate water intake (2 L/day).
- Sitz baths 10–15 minutes after each bowel motion.
- Stool softener (PEG, lactulose) if hard stools persist.
- No straining, no phone scrolling on the toilet.
Întrebări frecvente
How long until it works?
Pain often improves within 1–2 weeks. Complete healing of the fissure takes 6–8 weeks. Continue applying for at least 2 weeks after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence.
Why does it hurt to apply?
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.
Can I use it with GTN ointment?
No — both are vasodilators and stacking them increases the risk of hypotension and severe headache without improving healing rates.
What if it doesn’t heal in 8 weeks?
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).
Is it safe in pregnancy?
Limited data. Topical absorption is small but caution is advised. Try sitz baths, fibre, lactulose, and topical anaesthetic first. Discuss with obstetric prescriber.
Can I have sex while using it?
The gel can transfer to a partner during anal contact and produce mild local effects. Wait at least 1–2 hours after application or use a barrier.
Why does my partner complain of headache?
Transferred topical CCB can cause a mild headache. Wash hands and the perianal area thoroughly before intimate contact.
Will it stain underwear?
A thin oily film may transfer. Use a panty liner during the first 30 minutes after application.
Depozitare
Below 25°C, do not refrigerate. Keep tube tightly closed. Discard 4 weeks after first opening.
Ce fac dacă uit o doză?
Apply when you remember and continue the schedule. Missing one or two doses does not undo healing — consistency over weeks is what matters.
