About DFO 4X Gel
DFO 4X Gel is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, strain, sprain, arthritis, contusions (bruises), post-traumatic pain, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments.
DFO 4X Gel contains Diclofenac diethylamine, which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced; this helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as application site reactions like itching, irritation, redness, and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
DFO 4X Gel is for external use only. Notify your doctor if you have had any recent heart surgery. Consult a doctor before using DFO 4X Gel if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. DFO 4X Gel is not recommended for children below 14 years. Avoid using DFO 4X Gel if you are during the perioperative period in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
