If not otherwise directed by the physician, a length of cream (3-5 cm) should be applied to or gently massaged into the affected area once or twice daily until the cream disappears.
In cases of particularly painful inflammation or thrombosis, the affected area and its environs should be gently covered with Hirudoid/Hirudoid Forte and a dressing applied. Hirudoid/Hirudoid Forte should also be massaged gently into the surroundings of the affected area, so as to intensify the total effect.
For the softening of hard scars the cream should be massaged forcefully into the area.
More Hirudoid Forte may be used if necessary.
Hirudoid: The anticoagulant effect can be neutralised by protamine sulfate, if uncontrolled bleeding should occur.
