Spectrum DMSO

Topical Dimethyl Sulfoxide

Spectrum DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a topical compound known for its ability to penetrate the skin and enhance the percutaneous absorption of certain substances, with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Widely used in veterinary and equine applications for its distinctive ability to pass through biological membranes and alter skin permeability.

Anti-Inflammatory & Analgesic Properties

DMSO has non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions and may be used under appropriate veterinary guidance to assist with:

• Localised inflammation
• Muscular soreness
• Soft-tissue discomfort
• Pain associated with inflammatory conditions

Appropriate use depends on the condition being treated and should be determined in consultation with a veterinarian.

Enhances Skin Penetration

One of the most important characteristics of DMSO is its ability to alter skin permeability and enhance percutaneous absorption. This requires particular care, as DMSO may also increase the absorption of other substances present on the skin.

Key Features

• Contains dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
• Highly penetrative topical compound
• Alters skin permeability
• Can enhance percutaneous absorption of certain compounds
• Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties
• May assist with localised soreness and inflammation when appropriately used
• Suitable for veterinary applications according to label directions

Directions

Use only as directed on the product label. The application area and hands should be thoroughly clean before handling or applying DMSO. Because DMSO can enhance skin penetration:

• Do not apply over dirty or contaminated skin
• Avoid contact with chemicals, medications or other topical products unless specifically directed
• Use clean application equipment
• Wear appropriate protective gloves when handling
• Do not combine with other products unless directed by a veterinarian

Due to DMSO's ability to carry substances through the skin, incorrect application can increase exposure to contaminants or other chemicals. For animal use only where specified by the product label. Seek veterinary advice before using DMSO to manage an injury or medical condition. Competition and racing participants should check current governing-body rules and withholding requirements before use. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
