Hirudal Cream 5 gm

Hirudal Cream 5 gm is used in the treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis and bruises. The detailed uses of Hirudal Cream 5 gm are as follows:

• Treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis: Hirudal Cream 5 gm treats thrombophlebitis by alleviating symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness in the affected veins.
• Bruises: Hirudal Cream 5 gm is involved in managing bruises by reducing swelling and facilitating tissue repair, thereby minimizing appearance and promoting faster recovery.

Hirudal Cream 5 gm contains Mucopolysaccharide polysulphate(MPS), a type of heparinoid (a class of medications that mimics the effects of heparin), which has antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and fibrinolytic properties. It helps break down blood clots (thrombus), improves blood flow, and reduces pain and inflammation. Thus, Hirudal Cream 5 gm provides soothing relief and promotes faster recovery from bruises and superficial thrombophlebitis. Additionally, MPS is commonly used as an effective moisturizer to treat various skin conditions, such as dry skin, pruritus (itchy skin), psoriasis (red, scaly skin patches), eczema (dry, itchy, and inflamed skin), senile xerosis (dry, wrinkled skin in elderly), and post-operative ecchymosis and oedema (bruising and swelling after surgery). It is also used in the treatment of osteoarthritis (a chronic condition causing joint pain and stiffness) and for preventing thromboembolism (blood clots).
