Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Yes this medication can cause bruning sensation I would also suggest you to use Lignocaine or tronolene Hemorrhoidal gels ..these gels kill germs plus they cure the pain of fissure that helps much in reducing symptoms and spasm of sphincter.

I would also suggest you to keep a good control of constipation... constipation will create problems...hard stools can prove really detrimental for the prognosis
I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.
