Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

My answer is yes it is used for anal or peri rectal abscess. Other drugs used for peri rectal abscess are ampicilline, ampicilline +sulbactum, cefazoline etc.. If the abscess not responding to treatment may require drainage. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
