# Contraindications:

# Precautions:
– In case of renal insufficiency, the application of Doxiproct should be limited to a few days.
– In case of blood in the faeces or its suspected presence, as well as of a simultaneous occurrence
of pain and fever, the physician must be consulted.
– Treatment must be stopped in case of hypersensitivity reactions.
# Pregnancy and lactation:
– Pregnancy category C: Studies in pregnant women or animals are not available and in humans, it is not
known whether calcium dobesilate crosses the placental barrier. On the other hand, after topic administration,
lidocaine hydrochloride is resorbed in variable quantities and can have systemic effects. Moreover, it crosses
the placental barrier. In these conditions, Doxiproct® should be administered during pregnancy only if
the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
– After oral administration, calcium dobesilate is excreted into the maternal milk in low amounts, but it is not known
whether this is the case with local use. After topic administration, lidocaine hydrochloride is excreted into the
maternal milk. As a precaution, it should be decided between discontinuating the treatment or the breast-feeding.
* To be used only on medical advice.
* Store below 25 degrees C, protected from heat.
