DFO Gel is primarily used to relieve acute musculoskeletal pain and osteoarthritis. It effectively reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness, improving your ability to move and flex the joint.

DFO Gel contains Diclofenac, Linseed Oil, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. Diclofenac and Methyl Salicylate work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Linseed oil inhibits inflammatory mediators like leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation. Menthol provides a cooling sensation by dilating the blood vessels. Together, DFO Gel helps provide relief from mild to moderate pain in musculoskeletal and joint conditions.
