ABSTRACT:
A topical treatment for hemorrhoidal pain and for spasms of the sphincters and muscles located in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is disclosed. The topical preparation includes the amino acid L-arginine in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier substance, e.g., K-Y jelly, suppository, or ingestible formulation, and can be applied directly to the affected area. The topical preparation of the invention is effective for relieving the pain of hemorrhoids or for treating conditions resulting from spasms of sphincters of the GI tract including anal fissure, post operative rectal pain, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, and pancreatitis, as well as conditions resulting from general spasm of the muscles of the GI tract.
