Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) offers a range of potential health benefits, but users must be aware of its side effects and drug interactions.​
Emerging research suggests that DMSO may help treat diabetic foot ulcers, reduce recurrent stomach ulcers, and even inhibit the growth of some cancer cells; it may also provide assistance for amyloidosis, a rare organ-damaging disease. However, common side effects include skin rashes/burns, garlic-scented breath and body odor (caused by its metabolite dimethyl sulfide), and gastrointestinal issues like nausea.​
DMSO interacts with blood thinners (e.g., warfarin) and platinum-based chemotherapy drugs (which reduces the efficacy of such drugs). Currently, only the 50% concentration of DMSO used for treating interstitial cystitis has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For conditions like arthritis, 25%-90% concentration topical DMSO is used clinically, but experts recommend consulting a healthcare professional before use. For those considering DMSO, balancing its potential with safety is crucial.
