Anorectal Disorder Part 2

Question 1

Juniper tar contains phenol should also be used sparingly and should NOT be ingested orally because organ failure and cardiac rhythm abnormalities may result

Question 2

Camphor stimulates the central nervous system which may lead to convulsions or death so there’s been accidental poisonings with the oral ingestion of this especially in children.

Question 3

Corticosteroid is a vasoconstrictor and antipruritic and onset may take up to 12 hours and the effect is longer than most other agents

Question 4

Approximately 60% of the topical anal rectal contains hydrocortisone and it acts as a vasoconstrictor and antipruritic and produces liposomal membrane stabilization and antimitotic activity. We don’t want it use in concentration more than 1% like cortisone we would use is cortisone 1% and it’s the corticosteroid approved for nonprescription use and analrectal preparations for the temporary relief of minor anal itching

Question 5

Local adverse reactions include skin reactions and atrophy with prolonged use so that’s using it for many times a day over the course of days and weeks and skin can become thin and atrophy…apply 3 to 4 times a day

Question 6

Glycerin containing ones should NOT be used in pregnant and breastfeeding women
