About Sucral Ano Cream 20 gm

Sucral Ano Cream 20 gm belongs to a class of medications called 'anorectal preparations' primarily used in the treatment of anal fissures (small tear in the anus lining), fistula (abnormal skin opening near the anus) and piles (inflamed and swollen veins in the rectum). Anorectal disorders occur at the junction of the anal canal and the rectum, including haemorrhoids, abscesses, fistula, fissures, anal itching and warts.
