GTN OINT 0.2 % 25GM

GTN Ointment 0.2% is a topical medicine used to support the healing of chronic anal fissures. It contains glyceryl trinitrate, a nitrate that helps relax the muscle around the anus and improve local blood flow. This may help reduce pain and pressure during and after bowel movements.

The 15gm tube is compact, easy to store, and simple to use at home. This ointment may help with:

• Chronic anal fissure pain
• Spasm of the anal sphincter
• Discomfort during and after bowel movements
• Slow-healing fissure tears

Key Benefits

This topical nitrate is valued for targeted action on the anal area. People choose it because it offers:

• Local relaxation of the internal sphincter muscle
• Improved blood flow to the fissure site
• Lower pressure during bowel movements
• A simple, at-home treatment option

How GTN Works on Anal Fissures

Glyceryl trinitrate is a vasodilator. When applied near the anal canal, it releases nitric oxide, which relaxes the smooth muscle of the internal sphincter. This drop in muscle tone reduces pressure on the canal and supports better blood flow to the fissure site.

Better blood flow gives the fissure a chance to heal. Most users notice gradual relief over a few weeks of regular, doctor-guided use.

Common Uses of the Ointment

This product is mainly used in anorectal care. Common uses include:

• Easing pain from chronic anal fissures
• Reducing internal sphincter spasm
• Supporting the healing of slow-recovering fissures
• Lowering pain during and after passing stool

Your doctor may also advise it alongside a high-fibre diet, plenty of water, and warm sitz baths.

How to Apply the Ointment

Always follow the directions given by your doctor or pharmacist. General guidance is as follows:

1. Wash your hands well before and after use
2. Place a small amount, about the size of a pea, on a fingertip or applicator
3. Apply gently to the outer anal area and just inside the canal as advised
4. Use it twice a day or as instructed
5. Do not apply more than the recommended amount

If you feel dizzy after applying it, sit or lie down until you feel steady again.
