- W1978889738 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> Anal fissure is a common and painful condition that often affects young adults of both sexes. Topical 2% diltiazem gel is described as an effective first-line treatment for chronic fissure with an optimised toxicity profile. When it became unavailable on the Portuguese market, our hospital and the Faculty of Pharmacy from Lisbon University developed a formulation and are producing and dispensing it. <h3>Purpose</h3> To assess the degree of patient satisfaction with the use of diltiazem gel in anal fissure. <h3>Materials and methods</h3> Cross-sectional descriptive study with information collected at a single moment in time through a telephone interview. <h3>Results</h3> All patients to whom the Pharmacy Department dispensed diltiazem gel between January and July 2011 were included. Number of patients was 137 (68 females, 69 males); mean age: 50.3 years. 70 patients answered the questionnaire (52 were excluded). The majority had higher education (baccalaureate or a degree). Regarding health status evolution, pain improved or improved considerably in 77% of patients. With regard to bleeding, it improved a lot or completely in 63% patients. As for itching and/or perianal irritation, it improved or improved considerably in 41% patients (33% didn9t know). As for passing faeces, in 14% patients it greatly improved or improved completely (77% didn9t know). Concerning side effects, only 2 patients had headaches and 1 mentioned dizziness. In terms of degree of satisfaction with the gel, 17% were completely satisfied, 57% very satisfied, 17% at least somewhat satisfied, 4% somewhat satisfied, 1% completely unsatisfied and 3% didn9t know. Of the 70 patients, 56% considered themselves cured, not cured 39% and 6% didn9t know. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Diltiazem gel seems to be a good alternative for treating anal fissure. The production of medicines by pharmacy departments is very important for meeting patients9 needs not met by the pharmaceutical industry." @default.
