1. What is Hirudoid and what is it used for

This medicine is indicated for:

the local symptomatic relief of superficial venous disorders such as heaviness and tightness in legs with varices in adults

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 5 days.

Do not use Hirudoid

  • If you are allergic to sodium chondroitin sulfate or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Hirudoid.

  • It should only be used on intact skin.

In case of venous problems caused by blood clots (such as thromboembolism, obstruction of a blood vessel that hinders blood flow), it is recommended to apply the product gently and without massage.

  • It should not be used for a long time or on very large areas of the skin.

Using Hirudoid with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines.

It is not recommended to apply other topical preparations to the same area without consulting your doctor.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

You should not use Hirudoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor advises you to do so.

Hirudoidcontains propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-216), methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-

218), cetearyl alcohol, and lanolin

This medicine may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) because it contains propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-216) and methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E-218), and local reactions on the skin (such as contact dermatitis) because it contains cetearyl alcohol and lanolin.

3. How to use Hirudoid

Follow exactly the administration instructions of the medicine contained in this leaflet or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This medicine is for topical use (exclusively on the skin). The recommended dose is:

Superficial venous disorders

Adults:apply a thin layer of gel or ointment to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day, distributing it with a light massage to facilitate penetration.

Wash your hands after each application to avoid unintentional contact with eyes and mucous membranes.

The average duration of treatment is usually between 1 and 2 weeks. If symptoms worsen or persist after 5 days of treatment, you should consult a doctor.

Children under 18 years:do not use without medical supervision.

Hematomas:

Adults and children over 1 year:apply a thin layer of gel or ointment to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day, distributing it with a light massage to facilitate penetration.

If symptoms worsen or persist after 5 days of treatment, you should consult a doctor. Children under 1 year:do not use without medical supervision.

If you use more Hirudoid than you should

If you have used more Hirudoid than you should or in case of accidental ingestion, consult the Toxicology Information Service. Telephone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.

Accidental ingestion of large amounts of Hirudoid gel due to its content of isopropyl alcohol may cause symptoms of acute alcohol intoxication.

In case of possible alcohol intoxication, special therapeutic measures should be initiated immediately.

If you forget to use Hirudoid

Do not apply a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.

You should continue treatment as normal without taking any particular action.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
