INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2011.
PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid - water-soluble vitamin B - is an integral part of coenzyme A. Stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, increases the strength of collagen fibers. The increase in the demand for pantothenic acid is observed when the skin or tissues are damaged, and its deficiency can be compensated by topical application of dexpanthenol. Optimum molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity make it possible to penetrate all layers of the skin. It has a regenerating, weak anti-inflammatory effect.
PHARMACOKINETICS
When topical application is rapidly absorbed and converted to pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly with beta-globulin and albumin).
