PLEASE NOTE: Medications applied to the skin, eyes, or ears (Topical drugs) interacts with DMSO (DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE)
DMSO can sometimes increase how much medicine the body absorbs. Applying DMSO along with medications you put on the skin or in the eyes or ears can increase how much medicine your body absorbs. Increasing how much medicine your body absorbs might increase the effects and side effects of the medicine.
If you are taking drugs of any kind, it would be smart to find out the biochemical results of combining supplementation with drugs. Therefore, talking to an educated person on this topic could prove to be a wise move on your part.
Suggested Instructions for Usage:
Topical Application to Skin: For prevention of some side effects of cancer treatment: 77-90% DMSO is typically applied under medical supervision every 3-8 hours for 10-14 days.
Shingles (herpes zoster): 5-40% idoxuridine in DMSO is within 48 hours after the appearance of a rash and applied every 4 hours for 4 days. (Idoxuridine is a prescribed medication.)
Nerve pain: 50% DMSO solution can be used 4 times daily for up to 3 weeks.
Osteoarthritis: 25% DMSO gel can been used 3 times a day, and 45.5% DMSO topical solution has been used 4 times a day.
Internal Use in Bladder: For frequent urge to urinate (interstitial cystitis) and for chronic inflammatory bladder disease: Healthcare providers drip a DMSO solution into the bladder using a tube called a catheter. The catheter is removed and the patient is asked to hold the solution for a period of time before urinating.
