HIRUDOID® FORTE Cream - Strong effect on superficial phlebitis and bruises

Swollen veins, which lead to varicose veins, are uncomfortable for many people.Although they can theoretically form in any vein in the body, they occur in the legs in 90 percent of cases.These venous diseases are among the most common diseases in Germany.Women are affected two to four times more often than men.However, only around twelve percent of those affected show such severe varicose veins that medical treatment is necessary.

In most cases, sufficient exercise, avoiding extreme heat such as saunas or sunbathing, and alternating showers that promote blood circulation can help as preventative measures.The rule “It’s better to lie or walk than sit or stand” also helps reduce risk. HIRUDOID® FORTE Cream supports the healing of superficial venous diseases.

HIRUDOID® FORTE is available as a cream and cooling gel.Both dosage forms contain an active ingredient concentration of 445 mg chondroitin polysulfate per tube (100 g).To activate the calf muscle pump, the cream and gel should be gently massaged towards the heart.
