In the treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fissures and other diseases of the rectum, one of the main methods is local exposure using ointments, sessile baths, and also rectal suppositories. Antihemorrhoidal medicine “Neo Anuzol” is available in the form of suppositories and is an anti-inflammatory, astringent, analgesic and antispasmodic. It is prescribed in cases where patients already feel discomfort in the rectum and anal opening in the form of itching, bleeding or pain during bowel movements.
The instruction attached to the Neo Anuzol preparation does not provide data on pharmacokinetics, that is, it does not contain data on how the drug passes through the tissues and in what quantities it accumulates in the body and is excreted from it. The effects on the body during pregnancy and lactation have not been studied. Therefore, this drug should be used during this period with caution, having previously visited a doctor and with it weighing the benefits and risks of the medicine.
Nothing is known about the interaction of Neo Anuzol with other drugs or its overdose. Of the side effects, the instructions mention only allergic reactions. It is not recommended to take this pharmaceutical product only with hypersensitivity to the constituent components.
This preparation contains zinc oxide, bismuth basic nitrate, iodine, resorcinol, tannin, methylene blue, as well as a fat base. Bismuth nitrate, in addition to the binder, also has an anti-inflammatory effect. When using the Neo Anuzol preparation (suppository), which contains this substance, the affected tissues are anesthetized, thereby speeding up the healing process and relieving discomfort in the rectum.
Resorcinol destroys the vegetative forms of microorganisms and coagulates proteins. It also has an antiseptic effect. The use of Neo Anuzol is undesirable if there are extensive lesions of the mucous membranes. When using a drug containing resorcinol, side effects such as dizziness, weakness, and respiratory distress may occur. And methylene blue can cause pain in the bladder and kidneys.
The astringent effect of Neo Anuzol is also achieved with the help of zinc oxide. This substance, when exposed to damaged tissues, reduces irritation, inflammation and exudation, and also protects tissues from the action of many irritating factors. As side effects, itching and burning are mainly manifested. However, it is not recommended to use such preparations containing zinc oxide in the presence of a purulent-inflammatory process. After using candles, wash your hands thoroughly - getting zinc oxide on the surface of open wounds in the eyes is unacceptable.
However, another substance that is part of the Neo Anuzol medicine, tannin, can negate the benefit of this remedy. Preparations containing tannin are prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory processes not only in the rectum, but also in the nasal cavity and larynx, as well as on the skin (ulcers, burns, pressure sores, cracks). When using preparations containing tannin with rectal fissures, there is a chance of blood clots. Although nothing is known about the interaction of Neo Anuzole with alkaloids (for example, atropine, morphine, nicotine), tannin forms unstable compounds with them. Therefore, people who abuse bad habits should take this into account when using this drug and use it with caution. After all, there is no data on the elimination of the drug, but it is necessary that the tannin be completely removed from the body.
In any case, in order to effectively treat and minimize the likelihood of side effects, prior consultation with a specialist is necessary.
