It is used to treat pain associated with chronic anal fissures, which are small tears in the skin lining the anal canal. The ointment works by relaxing the muscles and increasing blood flow in the anal area, thus relieving pain. It is typically applied intra-anally twice daily, every 12 hours, for up to 8 weeks, or until the pain subsides.
