Topical pharmaceutical composition comprising betanechol

摘要

Bethanechol is administered locally to the anus for the treatment of benign anal disorders, in particular anal fissures and haemorrhoids. It induces a reduction in the mean and resting pressure, thereby assisting in the healing of anal fissures and haemorrhoids. Optionally, bethanechol may be co-administered with a steroid, such as hydrocortisone.
