DFO Gel 30 gm

DFO Gel 30 gm is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, and low back pain. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments.
