Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Instead of cremalax (Sodium Picosulphate) & bulk agents, you should use stool softeners Lactulose 30 ml at bed-time & have also warm sitz baths. Apply 2% lidocaine jelly before and after passing stool.Topical diltiazem(2%) and bethanechol (0.1%) is another alternative for the treatment of anal fissures.
