Swelling of the ankles and feet

Tiredness

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Quick tips

Apply Dilgel with clean hands using a finger cot or applicator to avoid contamination and ensure proper dosing.
Use this medicine after bowel movement and gentle cleansing, as this allows better absorption and reduces irritation.
