Is using hirudoid cream helpsin blood circulation & can alleviates pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Hirudoid cream and gel both contain heparinoid, which is a similar to heparin. It is used to improve circulation after bruising or soft tissue injuries. It works by dissolving small blood clots and improving the blood supply to the skin. It can be used to help relieve pain and inflammation associated with superficial thrombophlebitis, but probably don't do anything for circulating/pain you asked a.
