Product introduction

Hepgel 250IU Ointment may also be used for treating extensive superficial bruises. It should be used as advised by your doctor. This medicine is meant for external use only. It should be applied only to the affected area of the skin as per the dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor. In order to get the most benefit, apply it regularly and preferably at the same time each day. Do not use larger amounts or apply it more often or for a longer duration than directed. This will only increase the risk of side effects.

Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the medicine in these areas. Local side effects like rashes may be seen after application. This is usually temporary and resolves quickly. Consult your doctor if it bothers you or if your condition doesn't improve.

Benefits of Hepgel Ointment

Prevention of Blood clots
Formation of blood clots blocks one or more veins, usually in your legs. Hepgel 250IU Ointment is used to prevent formation of blood clots near the surface of your skin. It dissolves the clots and also relieves pain and inflammation by increasing the blood flow. This improves the overall healing process.
Use it as advised by the doctor to get maximum benefit. The condition usually improves on its own in sometime. However, your doctor might recommend applying heat to the painful area, elevating the affected leg, using an over-the-counter painkiller and possibly wearing compression stockings.

Side effects of Hepgel Ointment

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
