Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
Pharmacodynamics
Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid, which belongs to the B vitamins (water-soluble) that are part of coenzyme A. It plays an important role in metabolic processes: the breakdown of fatty acids, the release of energy from carbohydrates, the synthesis of sterols, acetylcholine, and steroid hormones. Pantothenic acid supports the functions of the epithelium, and in cases of damage to the skin or mucous membranes, there is an increased need for it. The drug stimulates the skin regeneration process, increases the strength of collagen fibers, normalizes cellular metabolism, and has a slight anti-inflammatory effect. Hydrophilicity, optimal molecular weight and low polarity of these drugs allow the active substance to penetrate into all layers of the skin. The auxiliary substances included in the ointment and cream improve the trophism of the skin and soften it.
Pharmacokinetics
The drug is quickly absorbed from the surface of the skin, and the active substance binds to blood proteins (albumin and beta globulin).

Reviews about D-Panthenol
Reviews about D-Panthenol ointment are overwhelmingly positive. “...I used D-Panthenol for acne yesterday. Today there is nothing left even to the touch, the skin is a pleasant color. I was even a little scared, maybe it was a hormonal drug. I used them before and the effect was good, but I was advised not to use hormonal drugs. I recommend". Many patients use De-Panthenol ointment for skin burns and note the high effectiveness of this form of the drug. But, nevertheless, for burns it is better to use depanthenol cream or D-Panthenol spray (correctly - Panthenol spray), which helps well with minor thermal and sunburns.
Reviews about D-Panthenol cream are also good. “...I first became acquainted with Depanthenol when I scalded my hand. The neighbor applied cream to the burn and three days later I didn’t even remember about the burn. The second time was when my hand was cut. I cut the bread poorly. And the cream also helped a lot. The healing took a little longer this time, but the result was good. Now depanthenol cream has taken its place in my home medicine cabinet.”
Many patients are interested in which form of the drug is more effective: “for what is it better to use ointment, and for what is it better to use cream?” The choice of the form of the medicine depends on the nature of the skin of the damaged surface: the ointment contains a higher percentage of fat and the use of depanthenol ointment is recommended for dry skin in the patient. The cream does not contain fat and the use of depanthenol cream is recommended on open areas of the body and on wet wounds. In addition, d panthenol cream is easily rubbed in and quickly absorbed, so it is recommended to use it for minor burns, in particular for sunburns.
Also, many patients are interested in D-Pantol suppositories, however, some of them mistakenly search for the drug using the query “depanthenol suppositories” and do not find this dosage form. You need to look for Depantol suppositories, not Depanthenol. This dosage form is widely used in gynecology. In addition to dexpanthenol, it contains chlorhexidine bigluconate, which has pronounced antimicrobial activity, as well as dermatophytes, yeast and protozoa. Has antimicrobial, regenerating and metabolic effects.
Often on the Internet, when discussing D-Panthenol ointment and what it is best used for, you can come across recommendations for using panthenol for hair. This is true, since Panthenol has an extremely beneficial effect on hair of any type, restoring damaged structure and nourishing it. Panthenol prevents fragility, dryness, splitting and splitting, increases the scalp's resistance to negative and damaging factors, eliminates itching, and stimulates hair growth. However, in this case, it is recommended not to use Panthenol spray, but to take the drug orally in the form of capsules (Panthenol-40), which is prescribed for hair loss, splitting and brittleness, dandruff, impaired hair growth, and increased production of sebaceous glands.

Panthenol: properties for skin
If we talk about how panthenol works for the skin, then first of all we need to mention its regenerative effect. The product promotes rapid restoration of the epidermis. It also gradually reduces inflammation, stabilizes metabolism in cells, and strengthens collagen fibers. In addition, panthenol moisturizes the skin and is an excellent remedy for combating dryness.
For burns, injuries, wounds and various skin diseases, the product compensates for the deficiency of pantothenic acid from which it is produced. When used externally, it is well absorbed. The body converts the drug into pantothenic acid, and then binds it to plasma proteins.
