Introduction of Dolophob Gel

Dolophob Gel is for external use only. It should be applied as per dose and duration suggested by the doctor. Applying it at the same time every day will help you remember to use it. The affected area should be clean and dry before application of the medicine. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.

Some common side effects of this medicine include application site reactions burning, irritation, itching, and redness. These are usually mild but let your doctor know if they bother you or last more than a few days. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Before using this medicine inform your doctor if you are pregnant.

Thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory process in which a blood clot forms and blocks one or more veins, usually in your legs.

It dissolves the clots and also relieves pain and inflammation by increasing the blood flow. This improves the overall healing process.
