Experiences with

Rectogesic

I've had incredible pain and was prescribed rectogesic for the next 6weeks...I'm wondering how I can manage work as the pain has been unbearable..thanks

Things changed this summer when I visited the UK, and read about nitroglycerin ointment known as Rectiv in the US, and Rectogesic in the UK, which nowadays seems to be the preferred treatment for anal fissures. I signed up with an online doctors’ practice, and was prescribed Rectogesic.

I’ve resorted to using rectogesic only at bedtime because it makes me feel so weird. It doesn’t give me a headache but I feel dizzy and faint for a couple of hours after applying it. Anyone else had the same and found a way to cope with it?

Also wondering if there are long term effects of using the Rectogesic….

The doctor has prescribed me rectogesic ointment but I’m so anxious to take it as I’m 5 weeks pregnancy, and very precious IVF pregnancy. Has anyone else been in this situation or have any wise words.

Currently prescribed rectogesic for anal fissure but when applied gives rotten headache and feels like my ass is on fire.. Reminds me of the Johnny Cash song Ring of Fire.. 6 weeks since problem began..

I have GCA and the GP prescribed the above but when I collected it the Pharmasist said I could get a headache,feel lightheaded and palpitations. I have had several ocular migraines. Am now wondering whether I should use this ointment. Has any one used this?

Hi, I have been prescribed rectogesic ointment for an anal fissure. I’ve had pain with bowel movement for 5 months now and was just wondering if anyone else has used rectogesic GTN cream and how long did they take it to get any relief ?

Online Doc perscribed me Rectogesic Ointment which I will receive tomorrow. As mentioned to them any 'fissure' i can see isnt directly on the anus but a few cm above it. should i apply the cream to the anus or on the actual cuts themselves? First time using this so not sure what to expect

I'm taking cicatridine suppositery and rectogesic cream. So the cream relaxes the muscles and the supportery should work on the cut. 7 days gone, 3 times went to the toilet. I love food and started to refusing it as the pain gets excruciating. Wished death upon me twice already.

Saw the gastro doctor in March 19 who laughed off my GP’s suspicion and who declined to do the camera test and diagnosed probable ibs and a fissure and sent me on my way with a prescription for rectogesic ointment (horrid stuff with horrid side effects) and a supposed open appointment to come back if

I got severe headaches with rectogesic gel so I can't use that. I have been taking lactulose since the operation to keep my stools soft. And I am having a high fibre diet,drinking plenty of water and taking all the vitamins+minerals that I need to help with wound healing.

So the doctor prescribed muscle relaxants and rectogesic. I basically spend the entire day literally in pain. Using the bathroom is utter agony and the rectogesic gives me a debilitating headache for which i take pain killers but the throbbing persists.
