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.

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.
