Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid.
Pantothenic acid – a water-soluble vitamin of group B (vitamin B5) – is a component of coenzyme A (Co-A); stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cell metabolism, accelerates mitosis, increases the strength of collagen fibers. It has a weak anti-inflammatory effect. The drug protects the surface of the wound from infections, inhibits the course of the infectious process and accelerates healing. Pharmacokinetics When used externally, dexpanthenol is quickly absorbed by the skin and turns into pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin). Its concentration in blood is 0.5-1 mg/l, in blood serum it is 100 μg/l. Pantothenic acid is not metabolized in the body (except for incorporation into Co-A), it is excreted unchanged by the kidneys.
Indications for use:
dry skin;
Wounds and burns (solar and thermal);
dermatitis;
bedsores;
procrastination;
aseptic postoperative wounds;
skin grafts that take root poorly;
treatment and prevention of cracks and inflammation of the nipples of the mammary gland during lactation;
baby care;
prevention and treatment of constipation in infants;
activation of the skin healing process in case of minor injuries, diaper rash.
Contraindication
Increased sensitivity to the components of the drug; in case of severe, deep or heavily contaminated wounds (such injuries require medical intervention).
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding Panthenol can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
However, it should be avoided on large areas of skin. If the drug is used to treat nipples during lactation, it should be washed off before breastfeeding. Before using the drug, if you are pregnant, or assume that you could be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, during breastfeeding, you should consult a doctor.
Method of application and dosage
Externally!
One or more times a day by spraying from a distance of 10-20 cm so that the damaged surface is covered with the drug.
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease. The course of treatment, depending on the type of pathology, can range from 2-3 days to 3-4 weeks.
For sunburns and dermatological diseases, the foam is rubbed into the affected surface with light movements until the drug is absorbed into the skin.
The drug is used 3-4 times a day.
In the treatment of granulating burns, wounds and trophic ulcers with weak exudation, before using the drug, the wound surface is cleaned of exudate and necrotic tissue, washed with a solution of hydrogen peroxide 3%, furacilin 1:5000 or chlorhexidine bigluconate 0.05% and dried.
The foam is applied in an even layer 1.0-1.5 cm thick so that the entire affected surface is covered with foam, and a sterile gauze bandage is applied. Bandages are changed once every 1-2 days in the treatment of burns and once a day in the treatment of wounds and trophic ulcers.
With the open method of treating burns, foam is applied 1-2 times a day.
The duration of treatment is determined by the dynamics of epithelialization of wounds.
Care of the mammary glands of nursing mothers. Foam is applied to the nipples of nursing mothers after each feeding and rubbed with massaging movements.
The foam is applied at each diaper/pamper (diaper) change. If after treatment there is no improvement, or the symptoms worsen, or new symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor.
