Hirudoid is a cream against inflammation of the skin and veins.
Hirudoid can be used:
– As an adjuvant treatment for hematomas, contusions, effusions, edemas (accumulations of water).
– In the prevention and treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation of a superficial vein causing a blood clot, usually in the leg). If, for example, you suffer from heavy legs or varicose veins, the risk of superficial thrombophlebitis increases.
– In the prevention and treatment of complications during infiltrations secondary to infusions or injections into a vein.
You should contact your doctor if you do not feel any improvement or if you feel less well after 14 days.
Apply a length of 3 to 5 cm of Hirudoid Cream several times a day to the affected parts and around them. If necessary, for example, at the start of treatment, you can apply more cream. Work the cream into the skin with a gentle massage.
If inflammation is particularly painful or if blood clots have formed, gently spread Hirudoid Cream over the affected area and the surrounding area. Then cover the skin with a gauze pad, for example. Always wash your hands after application
