Hey guys, I'm currently doing the nitro .4% ointment. I have a question about using it. The directions say to squeeze out a one inch line onto your finger and slightly insert it into the anus. But, my fissure recently tore wide back open recently and I can see it when looking through a mirror. My question is, should I be spreading all of the ointment inside the anus like in the directions, or would it be better to most of the ointment directly on the fissure area since I can locate it?
Also, it says in the directions that come with the medication to use it for up to 3 weeks, but my prescription came with two of the 30 gram tubes, and I even have the option for a refill, so I assume my gastro thinks I can use it for longer, any idea on how long I should try using it for? 6-8 weeks?
