This Lidocaine 2.34%/Phenol 1.79%/Tannic Acid 6.25% Rectal Ointment is a specialized compound designed to provide symptomatic relief and treatment for various anorectal conditions. The ointment is a semi-solid formulation that is applied externally to the affected area. The base of the ointment is greasy or oily, which not only facilitates the delivery of the active ingredients to the site of action but also provides a protective barrier that can aid in the healing process.
Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, is included at a concentration of 2.34% to provide immediate relief from pain and discomfort by numbing the affected area. This can be particularly beneficial for patients experiencing painful hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or pruritus ani. Phenol, present at 1.79%, has antiseptic properties that help reduce the risk of infection by eliminating harmful microorganisms. It also has a mild anesthetic effect, contributing to the overall analgesic properties of the ointment.
Tannic Acid, at a concentration of 6.25%, is a key component with astringent properties. It helps to reduce swelling and inflammation, promoting the healing of skin and mucous membranes. Tannic Acid can also precipitate proteins, which helps to form a protective layer over wounds, aiding in the reduction of irritation and providing a conducive environment for tissue regeneration.
This compound is specifically tailored for patients suffering from anorectal disorders, where inflammation, pain, and risk of infection are common issues. By addressing these symptoms, the ointment facilitates a more comfortable recovery process. It is important for patients to follow the application instructions provided by their healthcare provider to ensure optimal results. Prescribers should consider the individual needs of their patients, including any potential allergies or contraindications, when recommending this formulation.

The Lidocaine 2.34%/Phenol 1.79%/Tannic Acid 6.25% Rectal Ointment is a specialized compound designed for rectal application. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that provides temporary relief from pain by blocking nerve signals in the body. Phenol has antiseptic properties and also acts as a mild anesthetic, while tannic acid has astringent properties that can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. This combination of ingredients is often used to manage symptoms associated with hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and other rectal or anal conditions.
When considering drug interactions, it is important to note that while the systemic absorption of these agents is generally low when applied topically, there is still potential for interaction with other medications. Lidocaine, in particular, should be used with caution in patients taking class I antiarrhythmic drugs (such as tocainide and mexiletine) as the combination may increase the risk of systemic lidocaine toxicity. Additionally, lidocaine may interact with beta-blockers, cimetidine, and other local anesthetics, potentially leading to increased plasma concentrations and enhanced effects or toxicity.
Phenol, although used in low concentrations, can interact with other substances that affect liver enzymes, particularly those that are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system. Caution is advised when using this medication in conjunction with other drugs that can affect liver metabolism. Tannic acid, being an astringent, may interact with other topical medications by altering their absorption or binding to their active ingredients, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
Patients should be advised to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. It is also important to avoid the use of other topical products on the treated area unless directed by a healthcare professional, as this may alter the effects of the ointment or lead to unexpected interactions.
As with any medication, the use of this compound should be monitored by a healthcare provider, especially in patients with a history of cardiac disease, liver disease, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have any questions or require further information regarding this formulation and its potential interactions, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy for professional advice and guidance.
The Lidocaine 2.34%/Phenol 1.79%/Tannic Acid 6.25% Rectal Ointment is a specially compounded formulation designed to provide symptomatic relief and treatment for various anorectal conditions. This ointment is a semi-solid preparation that is applied externally to the affected area around the rectum. The base of the ointment is greasy or oily, which not only facilitates the application but also ensures that the active ingredients are delivered effectively to the site of action.
Lidocaine, the first active ingredient, is a local anesthetic that works by blocking the nerve signals in the body. When applied to the skin, it causes a temporary loss of sensation in the treated area, providing relief from pain and discomfort. This is particularly beneficial in conditions where pain is a significant symptom, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or after surgical procedures.
Phenol, the second active ingredient, has both antiseptic and anesthetic properties. As an antiseptic, it helps to reduce the risk of infection in the affected area by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Its anesthetic effect complements that of lidocaine, enhancing the overall numbing effect and providing additional pain relief.
Tannic Acid, the third active component, has astringent properties. It works by precipitating proteins and contracting tissues, which can help reduce swelling and create a barrier against infection. This action is particularly useful in treating weeping or bleeding skin conditions, as it can help to dry out the area and promote the healing process.
The anesthetic properties help manage pain, the antiseptic action reduces the risk of infection, and the astringent effect helps to control swelling and bleeding.
Patients and prescribers should note that this formulation is for external use only and should be applied as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended amount. Before using this ointment, the area should be cleaned gently to avoid further irritation. If you have any questions or require additional information about this formulation, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to assist you with your healthcare needs.
