RADIGARD GEL

Introduction:

Radigard Gel is used to treat radiodermatitis and hand-foot syndrome. Radiodermatitis is the most common side effect of radiotherapy. The symptoms of radiodermatitis vary between people and radiation doses. The symptoms are skin redness, swelling, dry and peeling skin, blisters, and skin ulcers. Hand-foot syndrome is a side effect of chemotherapy. The symptoms are numbness, tenderness, tingling, and swelling. In severe cases, patients might find it difficult to use their hands or walk. 

Radigard Gel also treats peripheral neuropathy (pain and weakness in hands and feet due to damaged nerves) and diabetic neuropathy (a painful nervous disorder caused due to diabetes) associated with cancer treatment. Talk to your physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this gel.
