1. WHAT IS RECTOGESIC AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
Rectogesic is a rectal ointment that contains nitroglycerin as the active ingredient. Nitroglycerin belongs to the family of medicines called organic nitrates.
The ointment helps to relieve the symptom of pain caused by chronic anal fissures. An anal fissure is defined as a lesion of the mucosa that lines the anal canal. Topical application of nitroglycerin to the site of the anal canal reduces anal pressure and increases blood flow, thereby reducing pain.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE USING RECTOGESIC
Do not use Rectogesic if:
- you are allergic to nitroglycerin or similar medicines
- you are allergic to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- you suffer from low blood pressure
- you suffer from heart or vascular disorders
- you suffer from closed-angle glaucoma, a condition in which the pressure inside the eye increases rapidly causing loss of vision
- you suffer from migraine or recurrent headache
- you suffer from increased intracranial pressure or high pressure in the head (e.g. head injury or cerebral haemorrhage - bleeding due to the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, which can be fatal without immediate medical treatment. Cerebral haemorrhage is commonly reported as a type of stroke) or inadequate cerebral circulation (low blood flow to the brain)
- you suffer from anaemia (low iron content in the blood)
- you are taking any of the following: medicines for erectile dysfunction such as sildenafil citrate, tadalafil, vardenafil; medicines for angina or heart pain, such as nitroglycerin (TNG), isosorbide dinitrate, amyl or butyl nitrite; medicines for high blood pressure or for depression (tricyclic antidepressants), acetylcysteine, or alteplase.
Take special care with Rectogesic especially:
- if you suffer from liver or kidney diseases
- in the case of heparin administration, strict blood monitoring must be performed as it may be necessary to change the dose of heparin. Consult your doctor before stopping treatment with Rectogesic
- in the presence of haemorrhoids and bleeding more than usual, stop using Rectogesic and consult your doctor
- if you experience a severe headache when using Rectogesic, inform your doctor who will decide whether to change the amount of Rectogesic or stop using the ointment altogether.
Rectogesic may cause a lowering of blood pressure. It is advisable to get up slowly from a
lying or sitting position otherwise you may feel faint. If you drink alcohol during treatment with
Rectogesic, you are more likely to experience a lowering of blood pressure.
Children and adolescents
Rectogesic is not indicated for children and adolescents under 18 years of age as it has not been tested
on subjects in this age group.
Other medicines and Rectogesic
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other
medicines, including those available without a prescription.
The following medicines can increase the effect of Rectogesic on lowering blood pressure
- Medicines for depression (tricyclic antidepressants)
- Medicines for erectile dysfunction (impotence) (sildenafil citrate, tadalafil, vardenafil)
- Medicines for high blood pressure
- Diuretics
- Commonly used tranquillisers
- Medicines used to treat heart problems (isosorbide dinitrate, amyl or butyl nitrite) Other medicines
- Acetylcysteine may enhance the effect of Rectogesic on blood flow
- The effect of heparin (used to control blood clotting) may decrease if used with Rectogesic
- The effect of alteplase (used to treat heart problems) may decrease if administered together with Rectogesic
- Taking Rectogesic with dihydroergotamine (used to treat migraine) may increase the action of dihydroergotamine and lead to coronary vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels in the heart, causing reduced blood flow)
- Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (some types of painkillers) may alter the therapeutic effect of Rectogesic.
Rectogesic and alcohol
Be careful when drinking alcohol as the use of the ointment may cause alcohol to have a
greater effect than usual.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Rectogesic should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicines during pregnancy or
breastfeeding.
Driving and using machinery
There are no studies on the effect of using Rectogesic 4 mg/g rectal ointment on the ability
to drive vehicles and operate machinery. If you experience dizziness,
somnolence or blurred vision when you start using the ointment, do not drive or operate machinery
until these effects have completely disappeared.
Rectogesic contains lanolin and propylene glycol
This medicine contains lanolin (wool fat) which may cause skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis). The medicine also contains propylene glycol which may cause skin irritation.
3. HOW TO USE RECTOGESIC
Method of administration
Rectogesic 4 mg/g rectal ointment is for rectal use.
Use this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor. If you have any doubts, consult your
doctor or pharmacist. The recommended dose is approximately 375 mg of ointment (approximately 1.5 mg of
trinitroglycerin) applied into the anal canal every 12 hours.
To apply the ointment, you can use a finger protector, such as adhesive film or a finger cot. Finger cots can be
found at a pharmacy or surgical supply store, and adhesive film at your nearest supermarket. For dosage,
position your finger along the 2.5 cm line indicated on the outer carton and apply a strip of ointment the
length of the line onto the end of your finger by gently squeezing the tube. Gently insert the ointment into the
anal canal using your finger, which should be inserted up to the first joint of the finger (approximately 1 cm)
inside the anus.
Apply the ointment every twelve hours as directed by your doctor and do not exceed the dose. Wash your hands
after use and dispose of the finger cot or adhesive film (not in the toilet).
Continue treatment until the pain disappears or for a maximum of 8 weeks. If anal pain does not improve with
the use of Rectogesic, consult your doctor again to ensure that there are no other causes.
If you use more Rectogesic than you should
If you notice that you have applied more ointment than you should, you may experience dizziness and lightheadedness. You
may also have a fast heartbeat or palpitations. If you experience these symptoms, wash away the excess amount of
ointment and immediately inform your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to use Rectogesic
Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Apply the next dose
at the usual time.
If you have any questions about using this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
