About Hirudoid Cream
What is Hirudoid Cream?
Hirudoid Cream is a topical Organo-heparinoid with Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate (MPS) 3 mg/g:
- Anti-inflammatory: Suppresses local inflammation, reducing swelling, redness and heat
- Fibrinolytic: Inhibits Thrombin, accelerating dissolution of subcutaneous blood clots
- Circulation-boosting: Stimulates local blood flow for tissue repair and scar softening
Minimal systemic absorption — safe for external use with no whole-body side effects.
What does Hirudoid Cream treat?
Hirudoid Cream treats:
- Bruises and hematomas — Accelerates healing from impacts, injections or blood draws
- Post-impact swelling — Reduces swelling and improves local circulation
- Superficial phlebitis — Including inflamed varicose veins
- Keloid/hypertrophic scars — MPS hydrates scar tissue, making it softer and smoother with continued use
External use only — do not apply on open wounds. Consult a pharmacist if bruises don't improve within 5 days.
How to apply Hirudoid Cream
Dosage: Apply Hirudoid Cream 1-4 times daily depending on severity.
How to apply:
- Clean and dry the area
- Squeeze 3-5 cm of cream (adjust for area size)
- Apply thinly and massage gently until absorbed
- For severe inflammation, apply on gauze and cover the area
For scars: Apply 2-3 times daily, massage in circular motions. Consistent use over several weeks needed for visible results.
Important: Do not apply on open wounds or bleeding areas. Avoid eyes, mouth and mucous membranes.
Side effects of Hirudoid Cream
Uncommon: Skin redness, irritation or mild itching at the application site — usually in sensitive skin, resolves on stopping
Very rare: Contact dermatitis, urticaria
Stop and seek help if: Severe allergic reaction (widespread hives, difficulty breathing, facial swelling)
Does not cause drowsiness — external use only, minimal absorption. Safe for daily activities. Hirudoid Cream has a strong safety profile when used as directed.
Contraindications / Precautions
Do not use: Allergy to MPS or Heparinoids, Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), open wounds or bleeding areas, mucous membranes
Precautions:
- Patients on anticoagulants (Warfarin, Heparin) — widespread use may slightly increase bleeding risk
- Bleeding disorders — consult a pharmacist before use
Pregnancy/breastfeeding: Safe to use — minimal systemic absorption. Consult a pharmacist for widespread application.
Hirudoid Red (Forte) vs Regular — what's the difference?
Hirudoid comes in 2 main variants:
- Hirudoid Cream (Blue/Regular): MPS 3 mg/g — suitable for everyday bruises, minor swelling and fresh scars. The most popular variant, available at Intimo Life
- Hirudoid Forte (Red): Higher MPS concentration — for severe conditions like inflamed varicose veins or stubborn keloid scars
Summary: Regular (blue) for everyday use, Forte (red) for severe cases. Choose based on symptom severity.
How fast does Hirudoid Cream work?
Hirudoid Cream starts working immediately — MPS penetrates to the subcutaneous layer to begin anti-inflammatory and fibrinolytic action.
Bruises: Visible fading within 2-3 days with 2-4x daily application (vs 1-2 weeks without treatment).
Scars: Requires 4-8 weeks of consistent use for noticeable softening. Regularity is key.
