Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions

The use of heparin can contribute to the prolongation of prothrombin time in patients taking oral anticoagulants. The preparation should not be used together with topical preparations, such as those containing tetracycline, hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or anticoagulants.

Special instructions

As an excipient, the medicinal product contains methylhydroxybenzoate, so it should not be used in patients with an allergy to parabens. If the patient has hemorrhagic symptoms, the possibility of using the LioGel 1000 preparation should be carefully weighed. The preparation should not be prescribed for bleeding, applied to open wounds, infected skin areas with purulent processes, mucous membranes, eyes, and areas around the eyes, or to ulcers and blisters. In case of blood coagulation disorders, the gel is not recommended to be applied to large areas of skin. In the treatment of phlebitis, this medicinal product should not be rubbed into the skin.

Adults should use the preparation 1-3 times a day. Apply 3-10 cm of gel to the affected skin area and gently rub in. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor individually, taking into account the severity of the disease.

Children

Due to limited experience with the use of the preparation, it should not be prescribed to children.

Overdose

Overdose symptoms have not been described to date. Due to the low systemic absorption, the risk of overdose of the preparation for local use is absent.
