Heparinoids help to reduce formation of blood clots when applied to local areas. This medicine relieves pain and at the same time promotes healing of vein inflammation, bruising, and haematomas (pooling of blood outside the blood vessels).
Apply Heparinoids exactly as directed by your doctor or according to the instructions on the label. Do not use more or less than instructed by your doctor.
This medicine is available as a cream or gel.
If you are using the cream or gel, follow these steps:
- Wash your hands.
- Clean and dry the affected area before application.
- Apply a thin layer using the gel or massage the cream gently on the skin until it disappears. Do not cover, wrap or bandage the area unless instructed by the doctor.
- Wash your hands after using.
- Replace the cap of the tube.
Avoid any contact with this medicine on your eyes. If an accidental contact occurs, rinse it immediately with water. Alert your doctor if you start to have any problems with your eyes.
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your normal dosing schedule.
DO NOT double a dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you often forget to apply your medicine, let your doctor and pharmacist know.
Do not apply Heparinoids on the skin that is broken or wounded and on or near sensitive areas (e.g. mouth, genitals).
