Hirudoid is a gel 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.
How to use Hirudoid
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if in doubt.
If after 14 days there is no improvement, please consult your doctor.
Apply a length of 3 to 5 cm of Hirudoid gel several times a day to the affected areas and around them. If necessary, for example, at the start of treatment, you can apply more gel. Spread the gel evenly. Due to its alcohol content, do not apply Hirudoid gel under a bandage. Always wash your hands after application
