Using heparinoid with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand: Hirudoid

Cautions with other medicines

Heparinoid is usually safe to use with other medicines. When you apply the cream or gel, only a very small amount of heparinoid will be absorbed through your skin into your bloodstream. This means it is not likely to affect or be affected by other medicines.

Check with your doctor or a pharmacist before using heparinoid if you're taking other medicines.

Mixing heparinoid with herbal remedies and supplements

There is not enough information to say whether complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with heparinoid. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
