DMSO Liquid 99%, 16 oz is a topical liquid that's used to treat physical trauma and the symptoms of arthritis in horses. DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) reduces pain and swelling, helps other medications through the skin and mucus membranes, and is sometimes used to treat cerebral edema.
-Very low toxicity when used properly
-Traps free radicals and produces sulfur to speed healing
-Anti-inflammatory medications for horses
DMSO is a rapidly absorbed skin penetrant. With the ability to carry other substances through membranes it acts as an anti-inflammatory agent. DMSO is also a cryoprotective agent that helps protect frozen tissue. Additionally, DMSO is a potent antioxidant, scavenging the highly reactive molecules that contribute to disease and aging, known as free radicals.
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.
Keep away from children and animals. CAUTION: May cause skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. DMSO Liquid is contraindicated in horses intended for breeding purposes. DMSO Liquid is a potent solvent and may have a deleterious effect on fabrics, plastics and other materials. Care should be taken to prevent physical contact with DMSO Liquid. DMSO Liquid should not be administered to horses that are to be slaughtered for food.
