DMSO Safety Information
Unless otherwise specifically recommended by your physician or qualified healthcare provider, please follow these general cautions and guidelines:
• For external use only. Do not ingest, inject, or use in the eyes, mouth, nose, genitals, or on other mucous membranes.
• Apply only to clean, dry skin. Always test on a small area first to check for sensitivity before wider use.
• Do not apply over other topical medications, cosmetics, perfumes, or unknown substances. DMSO can enhance absorption of whatever it contacts on the skin.
• Avoid applying to open, infected, or actively bleeding skin unless your healthcare provider has specifically advised it.
• Do not use on poison ivy or poison oak, as it may spread irritating substances more deeply into the skin.
• Avoid exposure to toxic chemicals before and for at least 3 hours after application. If you come into contact with any toxic substance, wash the area immediately with soap and water.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or on children, unless directed and supervised by a qualified healthcare provider.
• Temporary effects such as skin warmth, redness, dryness, itching, or a garlic-like body or breath odor may occur. If irritation is severe or persists, stop use and consult a healthcare provider.
• Stop use immediately and seek medical attention if you experience signs of allergic reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or widespread rash/hives.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from light, with the cap tightly closed. DMSO attracts water; keep the container sealed to maintain purity and effectiveness.
• Some practitioners recommend a multivitamin/mineral supplement (e.g., vitamins A, C, E, B1, B6, zinc, selenium) to support the body’s natural antioxidant defenses. Ask your healthcare provider what is appropriate for you.
• Use only as directed. This product is intended for external comfort/support use and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
