DFO 4X Gel 1*50GM

DFO 4X GEL (Topical) is a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medication containing Diclofenac, a member of the Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) group. It is specifically formulated to manage pain and inflammation associated with muscle and joint injuries, sprains, strains, bruises, sports injuries, backache, tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and swelling around joints. This gel is ideal for targeted external use and ensures rapid relief at the affected area.

Key Benefits

• Provides relief from pain and inflammation in muscles and joints

• Supports recovery from injuries such as sprains, strains, and bruises

• Helps manage pain associated with tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and post-trauma swelling

• Improves mobility and comfort in affected areas

• Offers targeted, external application for localized effects

How It Works
DFO 4X GEL (Topical) works by inhibiting enzymes called COX-1 and COX-2, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. These chemicals induce pain and inflammation. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, the gel alleviates pain, swelling, and discomfort in the applied area.

How To Use

• Apply the gel on clean, healthy skin as directed by your doctor

• Wash hands before and after application

• Avoid applying on injured, infected, or broken skin

• Do not cover the applied area with tight bandages or plasters

• In case of accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes, rinse thoroughly with running water

Side Effects

• Eczema or other skin disorders

Stop using the gel and consult a doctor immediately if you experience allergic reactions such as hives, swelling, chest tightness, or severe skin reactions like exfoliative dermatitis or Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
