Hirudal Cream 5 gm

Your doctor may recommend this medication to help manage the following conditions:

• Bruises and pooling blood (hematomas): Helps clear trapped blood under the skin from minor bumps and injuries, restoring normal skin colour and reducing tenderness.
• Superficial vein inflammation (thrombophlebitis): Relieves swelling, pain, and redness in inflamed veins close to the skin's surface.
• Sprains and strains: Targets localised swelling and fluid build-up caused by sports injuries or joint pulls, helping you recover mobility.
• Scar softening: Promotes the softening of hard, raised scars, helping to improve their overall texture and appearance over time.

When taken consistently as directed, this medication may provide the following physiological benefits:

• Reduces swelling and discomfort: Helps manage localised swelling and inflammation at the site of injury, which may support more comfortable movement during recovery.
• Supports bruise recovery: May help support the body’s natural healing process and reduce the appearance of bruising over time.
• Supports scar care: May help soften and improve the flexibility of scar tissue, making the skin feel smoother and more comfortable.

• It is advised to apply Hirudal Cream 5 gm 2 to 3 times a day or as prescribed by a doctor.
• Apply a small amount of Hirudal Cream 5 gm to the clean and dry affected area. Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
• Wash your hands before and after applying it.

• Use the R.I.C.E. method: Use the R.I.C.E. method (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) during the first 48 hours of a minor injury to work alongside this medication in reducing swelling.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support healthy circulation and natural tissue repair.
• Avoid smoking: Avoid smoking, as tobacco use constricts blood vessels and can delay the healing of bruised skin and damaged tissues.
• Eat a balanced diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins C and K, which help support strong blood vessels and healthy wound healing.

• Check the seal: Check the protective seal on the tube before your first use; do not use the product if the seal is broken or missing.
• Avoid tight coverings: Do not apply this medication under tight, airtight, or plastic bandages (occlusive dressings) unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so.
• Avoid heat after application: Avoid applying heating pads or warm compresses to the treated skin area immediately after application, as heat can increase absorption and may cause skin irritation.
• Avoid sensitive areas: Keep this medication away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive body passages. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area immediately with large amounts of cool water.
• Monitor improvement: Stop using the medication and consult your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not show signs of improvement after two to three weeks of daily use.
