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. Changes in the refractive index of the lens of the eye and nuclear cataracts have been observed in animals, with the use of this drug. This appears to be related to dosage and duration of therapy.

Contact between DMSO Gel and the skin should be avoided. Rubber gloves should be worn while applying this drug. Forceps and swabs may be used to facilitate application. If absorbed through the skin, DMSO Gel will cause odorous breath and unpleasant mouth taste. Mild sedation or drowsiness, sensations of warmth, burning, irritation, itching and mild erythematous localized or generalized dermatitis have been reported in some persons following exposure to DMSO Gel. Treatment of such side effects is symptomatic. Consult a physician immediately if adverse effects appear. DMSO Gel may mask certain disease signs such as seen in fractures, etc.; this does not obviate the need for specific therapy in such conditions. Since DMSO Gel effectively alters the biologic membrane, it will in some cases facilitate the systemic absorption of other topically applied drugs and may have a potentiating effect on drugs administered systemically. DMSO Gel should be judiciously used when administered in conjunction with other pharmaceutical preparations, especially those affecting the cardiovascular and central nervous systems. DMSO Gel may enhance the absorption of other materials into the skin. The veterinarian should make certain that other medications are not present prior to its application. Keep DMSO Gel out of the reach of children. DMSO Gel is recommended for topical application only. DO NOT ADMINISTER BY ANY OTHER ROUTE. DMSO Gel should not be used under occlusive dressings. DMSO Gel is contraindicated in horses and dogs intended for breeding purposes. DMSO Gel is a potent solvent and may have a deleterious effect on fabrics, plastics and other materials.
