Dosage and administration
Bathe and dry the affected anal area. Then insert one suppository upright into the rectum. Administer 1 suppository of ANUZINC HC in the morning and again at bedtime, and after each bowel movement. Continue this treatment until the acute phase of pain and discomfort passes and the inflammation subsides. Thereafter maintain patient comfort and continue treatment with one daily application after the morning stool
Suppositories are most easily administered in a stooped or squatting position, or while lying on the side with knees flexed. The exertion of a slight bearing down pressure relaxes the anal sphincter which permits painless insertion of the suppository.
