Product introduction

D.F.O. Gel is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Rub a thin layer of the medicine into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, and avoid applying it to wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse them with plenty of cold water.


Use of this medicine may cause a few common side effects, such as burning or stinging sensations, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application in some people. Usually, the side effects will slowly go away as your body gets used to it. If they get worse or do not go away, you should let your doctor know.


Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines, you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines to be safe. You should also let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions or disorders to make sure it is safe. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of D.F.O. Gel

Benefits of D.F.O. Gel

Treatment of Pain relief
D.F.O. Gel gives fast relief from pain and swelling in conditions such as sprains, strains, bruises, backache, tendinitis, and localized mild arthritis. It works by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract you from feeling the pain in your muscles and joints. Altogether, it will help you do your daily activities without many problems. Apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area no more than 3 to 4 times a day and rub it in gently and thoroughly.

Side effects of D.F.O. Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of D.F.O.
  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use D.F.O. Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How D.F.O. Gel works

D.F.O. Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac, Linseed Oil, Menthol and Methyl Salicylate. Diclofenac and Methyl Salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Linseed Oil is a plant-based oil that further reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation at the site of application. It also increases the penetration of Diclofenac through the skin. Menthol produces a cooling effect on the skin.

Quick tips

  • Apply 2-3 times daily or as prescribed by the doctor.
  • Do not apply to large areas of skin or near sensitive areas such as the private parts or on broken or injured skin.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and nose, and rinse thoroughly in case of accidental contact or seek medical help in case of swallowing.
  • Avoid applying D.F.O. Gel right after bathing or shaving. Using this medication on freshly shaved skin areas can cause severe skin irritation.
  • Consult your doctor if you get excessive skin irritation or other unwanted effects.
