HOW TO USE RAPIGEL
Easy to apply
Simply rub onto affected areas at full strength. Requires no mixing or application device. The clear gel RAPIGEL formula can be easily applied to most areas. It will not disperse from the areas where it is needed and will leave no sticky or hard to remove residue.
Ideal to combine with massage
The gel formulation of RAPIGEL makes it ideal to combine with massage therapy for a more intense effect to promote more rapid healing. Muscles will particularly benefit from massage with RAPIGEL due to the relaxation of muscle spasms and muscle fibres.
Intensify or prolong effectiveness by using bandages
RAPIGEL can safely be applied under wet or dry bandages to intensify and promote a more marked effect. The use of RAPIGEL in conjunction with bandaging may be particularly helpful to promote tendon repair, as this will both intensify the effects of RAPIGEL, as well as provide support to the delicate tendon structures.
Mild disinfectant and skin cleanser
Isopropyl alcohol, contained in RAPIGEL, is often utilised as a cleaner or disinfectant in medical situations. RAPIGEL assists in the removal of product or bandage residue, such as that left by adhesive bandages used for support on race days. Do not use on broken skin.
PRECAUTION
If pain or swelling persists the advice of a veterinarian should be sought.

USE ON OTHER ANIMALS OTHER THAN HORSES AND DOGS
Rapigel is registered for use in horses and dogs which means it may be safely used in both horses and dogs. The use of this product in any other species would be considered “off label usage”. Products should not be used outside of their registered label claims without first consulting a veterinarian (if at all). Variation in metabolisms between different species means that dose rates can vary quite widely and that some species may be far more sensitive than others making products dangerous or even potentially fatal to those animals. It is for this reason that “off label dosage" should only be conducted under the supervision of a veterinarian.
STORAGE
