Q1 I have anal fissure from 32 days. Currently I am using Anovate and diltiazem ointment and pain has been reduce. Sir/mam I want to know the correct way to apply the ointment and is there any specific rule to apply the ointment. Is it ok to apply diltiazem first and then apply Anovate after 1 hour?

Hi Prefer only diltiazem for fissure. Apply one nuckle deep or around 2 cm inside the anal canal with a finger glove. Pain relief and no bleeding will indirectly tell fissure is healing. 2 to 4 weeks usually required for fissure healing. With 2 to 3 times a day application.
