• An applicator with lateral outlet openings can be used to apply the ointment in the anal canal. Screw the applicator onto the tube and, if possible, insert it into the anal canal after defecation. By gently pressing the tube, the ointment flows evenly through the side outlet openings to the diseased areas. Slightly turning the tube ensures that the ointment is distributed all around. Cleaning the applicator after use is best done by unscrewing and rinsing with warm water.
