A member asked:
Will my chronic anal fissure heal with diltiazem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely : Diltiazem has been shown to help 86 out of every 100 fissures heal - so the odds are in your favor. It can take 6 weeks, if not longer for it to heal. So be patient, and stick with it. In the mean time, keep yourself well hydrated and take soe good fiber to soften your stools. Hope this helps. Call with any other questions.
