About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Fidonal Cream is a topical medication formulated with Lidocaine (1.5% w/w) and Nifedipine (0.3% w/w), designed to provide effective relief from localized pain and discomfort associated with various conditions. Lidocaine, a well-known local anesthetic, works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the skin, thereby reducing pain and itching sensations. Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, promotes vasodilation, improving blood flow to the affected area and aiding in the reduction of inflammation and muscle spasms. This unique combination makes Fidonal Cream particularly useful for treating conditions such as anal fissures, hemorrhoids, and other localized vascular or muscular issues where pain and restricted blood flow are concerns. The cream is applied directly to the affected area, allowing for targeted action with minimal systemic absorption, which reduces the risk of side effects commonly associated with oral medications. Fidonal Cream is generally well-tolerated, but users should follow the prescribed dosage and avoid applying it to broken or infected skin. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with known allergies to Lidocaine, Nifedipine, or other components of the formulation.

About Nifedipine
Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension and angina. It works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's workload. Nifedipine is clinically significant for managing cardiovascular conditions. In summary, nifedipine is essential for controlling blood pressure and improving heart health.
How It Works
Nifedipine inhibits L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
All Active Ingredients
