Shop Hirudoid at withaid, a UK based and regulated online pharmacy. This brand page brings together the current Hirudoid range so you can buy Hirudoid Cream 50g or Hirudoid Gel 50g online with clear pricing, directions, and safety information. Hirudoid products contain heparinoid and are commonly selected for local skin support when bruising or mild, localised swelling occurs after everyday knocks, minor sprains or strains, or overuse. If you’re comparing options, the best place to start is the texture you prefer and how you want it to feel on the skin.
Hirudoid gel is typically chosen when you want a lighter, quick-drying application, while Hirudoid cream can feel richer and may suit drier skin. Always follow the label and patient information leaflet, use only as directed, and check suitability if you have sensitive skin, take medicines that affect bruising or bleeding, or you’re unsure what’s causing your symptoms.
