Product introduction

D.F.O. Nano Gel is a pain-relieving medicine. It is used to treat various conditions such as joint pain, neck pain, sprains, spasms, and others. It works by blocking the release of certain chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. It also provides a cooling sensation to the affected area.

Your doctor will explain how to use D.F.O. Nano Gel. Follow the instructions carefully to get the most benefit. You can also read the package insert for instruction. The dose and duration will depend on what you are using it for and how well it helps your symptoms. Apply it whenever it is needed or as per the doctor’s instruction. It is generally safe with little or no side effects. However, in some people, it may cause application site reactions such as redness and swelling. These are usually mild and resolve with time. If they do not go away or bother you, you should remove your patch and contact your doctor.

Benefits of D.F.O. Nano Gel

In Treatment of Pain relief

D.F.O. Nano Gel is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling in painful conditions that affect joints and muscles. It is very effective in treating strains, sprains, backache, and sports injuries. It is also helpful for pain caused by tendonitis (such as tennis elbow).

Consult a doctor if you are not sure.

How to use D.F.O. Nano 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. Nano Gel works

D.F.O. Nano Gel is a combination of four medicines: Diclofenac diethylamine, Methyl Salicylate, Menthol, and Alcohol. Diclofenac diethylamine and Methyl Salicylate are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which work by blocking the release of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Menthol dilates the blood vessels causing a sensation of coldness, followed by an analgesic effect. Menthol also acts as a penetration enhancer, increasing the penetration of drugs when applied on the skin, to give a faster onset of action. Alcohol acts as an analgesic and anesthetic and can reduce the sensation of both physical and emotional pain.
