Rapigel®: Frequently Asked Questions Can I use Rapigel on an animal other than a horse or dog? 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 mean 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. Can I use Rapigel on myself? Rapigel® is registered for use in horses and dogs only (refer above response). Virbac is an animal health company, there has been no research conducted for use in humans. We cannot advise use in humans, please check with your GP or specialist before using Rapigel.

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.
