What is Nifedipine/Lidocaine Ointment?
This compounded ointment combines two active ingredients:
- Nifedipine: A calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation.
- Lidocaine: A local anesthetic that provides pain relief by numbing the affected area.
At Webster Pharmacy, we provide customized compounded medications to address specific patient needs. One such specialized formulation is Nifedipine/Lidocaine Ointment, a topical treatment commonly used to manage pain and discomfort associated with conditions like anal fissures and Raynaud’s phenomenon.
