EP-CD Cream
Introduction of EP-CD Cream
EP-CD Cream is a combination of two medicines used in the treatment of anal fissures (tear in the lining of anus). It relieves the pain, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with the passing of stools in people who suffer from problems in the anal area.
EP-CD Cream relaxes the blood vessels in the anus as well as forms a coating over the affected area thus helping in healing of anal fissures. It should be used in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area before applying this medicine. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not use your finger to apply this medicine. Do not stop using it suddenly without talking to your doctor, as it may lead to worsening of your condition.
This medicine is generally well tolerated with minimal or no side effects. However, slight anal irritation may occur on application of the medicine. This is temporary and usually resolves on its own in some time. Please consult your doctor if it does not resolve or persists for a longer duration.
Avoid getting it into your eyes, nose or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, wash your eyes with water and seek immediate medical attention. You should stop using it and inform your doctor if you notice worsening of the infection or if you develop increased redness and irritation.

Quick tips
EP-CD Cream
- EP-CD Cream is prescribed to get relief from pain, swelling and other discomfort in the rectal area due to fissures.
- Apart from using EP-CD Cream, you can indulge in warm baths. It may help soothe the area and thus may ease the pain.
- Don't ignore the feeling of needing to pass stools. Some people suppress this feeling and put off going to the toilet until later. This may result in bigger and harder stools forming that are more difficult to pass later.
- Do not take any oral laxative along with EP-CD Cream without consulting your doctor.
- Sometimes certain medicines like iron tablets, antibiotics might make your stools hard and difficult to pass. Inform your doctor if you are taking any of them.
- A fiber-rich diet (wholegrain bread and cereals, fruit and green leafy vegetables) with six to eight full glasses of water each day and daily exercise are important in maintaining healthy bowel function.
