Hirudoid Cream can be used to treat bruising and
haematoma (blood clots) thanks to its soothing properties, as it works
by improving the circulation after bruising or soft tissue injuries. It
can also be used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with
superficial thrombophlebitis (vein inflammation).
Directions for using Hirudoid Cream:
- This preparation is for external use only.
- The amount of cream/gel to be used will depend on the size of the area being treated.

four times a day. - Wash your hands after using the cream/gel.

stated in the product packaging or information leaflet supplied with the
