Spectrum DMSO

DMSO – Dimethyl Sulfoxide

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.

DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide) is widely used in veterinary and equine applications for its distinctive ability to pass through biological membranes and alter skin permeability.

DMSO also has recognised anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it useful in veterinary applications where the management of localised inflammation, discomfort and soreness is required.

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

The appropriate use of DMSO will depend 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 the permeability of the skin and enhance percutaneous absorption.

This property requires particular care because DMSO may also increase the absorption of other substances present on the skin.

Important Handling Information

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
• Follow the product label carefully

Important Information

Due to DMSO's ability to carry substances through the skin, incorrect application can increase exposure to contaminants or other chemicals. Use only as directed on the product label and seek veterinary advice before using DMSO to manage an injury or medical condition.

Competition and racing participants should also check current governing-body rules and withholding requirements before use.

For animal use only where specified by the product label.
