DMSO Gel 99% is used to reduce joint inflammation and swelling in dogs and horses. It works for dogs or horses with injuries and those with pain from osteoarthritis. DMSO is used topically on the skin. DMSO is often used in the treatment of tendon & ligament injuries. DMSO is a colorless liquid derived from lignin, the natural material that bonds together the cells of trees. It is extracted during the manufacturing of pulp and then processed. DMSO Gel is an organic, non-synthesized product. DMSO has been approved by the FDA for use in dogs, and horses.
In general, adverse reactions are local, and while they may prove to be annoying to some patients, they are usually not of a serious nature. Upon topical application, an occasionally animal may develop transient erythema, associated with local burning or smarting. Even when erythema or vesiculation occurs, they are self-limiting reversible states, and not necessarily an indication to discontinue medication. Dryness of the skin and an oyster-like breath odor have been reported. These effects are temporary and are not considered to be of serious consequence. Changes in the refractive index of the lens of the eye and nuclear cataracts have been observed in animals, with the use of this drug. This appears to be related to dosage and duration of therapy.
