The drug is effective for wounds, burns, allergic reactions, cracked nipples in breastfeeding women. The product relieves itching and pain, has a moisturizing effect and copes with inflammatory processes.
Panthenol: composition
The active ingredient in panthenol cream, spray, ointment or balm is called dexpanthenol. The drug is available in different forms (cream, ointment, spray).
!
All these products are suitable for external use only.
Panthenol cream contains 5% active substance (50 mg per 1 g of cream). The remaining share comes from auxiliary components. The cream is produced in tubes of 25 and 50 grams. This is a homogeneous white product with a neutral aroma. Panthenol helps with cracked nipples in nursing women, stretch marks during pregnancy, scars, etc. It is also used for hemorrhoids (Haemorrois) as an aid.
Panthenol ointment also contains 5% of the active ingredient, but differs in the composition of the auxiliary components. It is a homogeneous yellowish substance with the aroma of lanolin. Panthenol ointment is used to treat very dry skin, trophic ulcers, bedsores, and wound surfaces. It is also produced in tubes of 25 and 50 grams.
Panthenol spray with a percentage of 4.63% of the active ingredient is most often used for sunburn. It is produced in aluminum cylinders of 58 and 130 grams.
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).
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.
!
The complex effect of panthenol on the skin has led to its demand in cosmetology and medicine.
Creams containing panthenol are used in the treatment of various skin diseases, varicose veins, cosmetic problems, etc. For example, Normaven® Foot Cream, which contains panthenol, has shown good results in the treatment of varicose veins and general improvement in the condition of the skin. This product was developed by highly qualified specialists from a pharmaceutical company, it was tested and was highly appreciated by doctors. The cream has all the necessary documentation and quality certificates and is approved for use by pregnant women. You can buy Normaven® Foot Cream in most pharmacies in the Russian Federation at an affordable price.
Panthenol - application and benefits
Description of the drug, its properties
Panthenol is a drug for external use, which is intended to restore the skin after various injuries.
Action of the product:
- eliminates pain;
- stops inflammation if it has not become infectious;
- normalizes metabolism, thereby activating the process of appearance of new skin cells;
- eliminates flaking and moisturizes the skin.
Panthenol: application
Panthenol ointment or cream is applied to the skin (for burns with boiling water, etc.) in a thin layer with previously washed hands. After application, the product must be rubbed in gently. The procedure must be repeated (on average 2–4 times a day, but more often). If panthenol cream, ointment or spray is used for purulent wounds, then an antiseptic treatment must be carried out before this.
The product is also recommended for infants for diaper rash and diaper dermatitis. It is applied to the skin every time after changing diapers and water procedures. Treatment continues until the skin is completely healed.
One of the most common ways to use panthenol moisturizing cream is to treat cracked and inflamed nipples in nursing women. The product is applied to the cracks every time after feeding, without washing it off. Reviews of ointment with panthenol confirm its ability to heal cracks.
Panthenol aerosol with a cooling effect is best suited for healing sun and other burns.
!
Burns are the main indication for the use of this remedy.
The instructions for the drug provide a precise description of how to apply panthenol spray to the skin. The sooner you use it after damage, the better the treatment effect will be. If you choose which is better - panthenol ointment or spray - to use for the treatment of burns, then you should give preference to the spray because of its convenient application.
To treat the surface of the burn, the can is held in a vertical position, shaken first, and then evenly applied to the skin. It is important to ensure that the entire burn is covered with foam. The spray foam is absorbed and has an analgesic and wound-healing effect. The product forms a thin film on the skin: it prevents moisture loss.
The spray must be applied after burns several times, taking into account the degree of damage.
