How does Rapigel work?
Rapigel contains an analgesic to provide relief from joint and muscle soreness. When Rapigel is applied it should be rubbed onto the affected area vigorously to complement the heating effect of the product. Rapigel also provides a “counter irritant” and “cooling effect” to improve circulation.

Do you need to use Rapigel with other treatments?
Rapigel does not need to be used with other preparations to alleviate muscle and joint soreness. It is very effective on its own and can be used on an ongoing basis. If the condition persists or shows no improvement, you should consult a Veterinarian. The problem may be something more serious.

Can Rapigel be used on wounds?
