Overview D.F.O. Gel
Topical analgesic D.F.O. Gel effectively manages pain and inflammation. Its applications include rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, muscle aches, and other inflammatory conditions. For external use only, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin as directed by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and broken skin; rinse thoroughly with cool water if accidental contact occurs. Minor side effects, such as localized burning, stinging, irritation, itching, or redness, may subside with continued use. Persistent or worsening side effects require medical attention.

How D.F.O. Gel works:
D.F.O. Gel unites four active agents: diclofenac, linseed oil, menthol, and methyl salicylate. Diclofenac and methyl salicylate, both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators responsible for pain and inflammation (swelling and redness). Linseed oil, a botanical extract, supplements anti-inflammatory action, enhances local circulation, and facilitates diclofenac's dermal absorption. Menthol imparts a localized cooling sensation.
