Dexpanthenol instructions for the use of eye gel. Dexpanthenol eye drops Contraindications for use

Spray Aqua Maris® is an isotonic solution (that is, it is ideal for the body, since the salt concentration in it corresponds to its level in human blood plasma), and a convenient dispenser provides optimal irrigation and moisturizing of local areas of the nasal mucosa, without intensive rinsing. Therefore, it can be used every day, especially during outbreaks of colds.

The mucous membrane of the nose is designed in such a way as to constantly filter the inhaled air. For this, nature has provided it with special "microcilia", which, making rhythmic wave-like movements, prevent the sedimentation of pathogenic viruses and bacteria. Nasal mucus contains antiviral components, envelops and neutralizes trapped microbes. Due to the presence of useful trace elements in the composition, Aqua Maris® supports the normal physiological functioning of the nasal mucosa under any adverse external circumstances (in winter or in an air-conditioned room). Zinc and selenium enhance local immunity. Calcium and magnesium stimulate the motor activity of the "microcilia". Iodine and sodium chloride normalize the production of nasal mucus and also have an antiseptic effect. Any oil-based nasal drops or ointments stick together "micro-cilia", disrupting the natural processes of air purification, clogging the ducts of the glands that produce mucus, and can cause side effects in the form of a burning sensation, increased production of nasal mucus or even swelling of the mucous membrane. Therefore, for the purpose of prevention, doctors recommend using Aqua Maris® - a modern remedy that supports the body's defenses without increasing the drug load and without changing the normal functioning of the mucous membrane.

Hardening is an affordable and common prevention method. But it should be borne in mind that all children naturally have different possibilities for the formation of immunity, therefore, in some cases, during hardening, an unpredictable reaction of the child's body may follow. And the hardening process itself is fraught with difficulties, and prophylaxis with Aqua Maris® spray takes no more than 30 seconds and requires minimal effort from both the mother and the child.

For prophylaxis, it is preferable to use the spray form Aqua Maris®, since in this case the nasal cavity is not washed, but is irrigated (during irrigation, a mechanical spray dispenser gently sprays a solution of sea water over the surface of the nasal cavity). In a little more detail, when breathing the viruses get "shallow" and are located not far from the vestibule of the nose. In this case, there is no need to flush, it is necessary to irrigate and remove viruses from the local surface. In addition, the compact size of the spray allows you to take it with you and use it whenever you need it. And rinsing the nose is necessary first of all to remove excess mucus, which interferes with normal breathing during a runny nose. In this case, aerosol forms are more suitable - Aqua Maris® Norm or Aqua Maris® Baby Intensive rinsing.

Aqua Maris® contains purified sea water saturated with useful minerals and trace elements that are able to restore the protective functions of the nose. Zinc and selenium increase local mucosal immunity. Calcium and magnesium stimulate the motor activity of ciliated cells, as a result of which pathogenic viruses and bacteria cannot gain a foothold on the mucous membrane and cause inflammation. Iodine and sodium chloride normalize the production of nasal mucus and also have an antiseptic effect. One of the main features of Aqua Maris® spray is just the moisturizing of the nasal mucosa. The safety and effectiveness of prevention has been proven by numerous studies of leading Russian specialists at various medical institutions: Russian State Medical University named after N.I. Pirogov, Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose and Speech, St. Petersburg, Moscow Department of Health, State Institution Scientific Center for Children's Health, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Moscow, Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology, Moscow, Research Institute of Hygiene, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Moscow Novosibirsk, FPPS KSMA, Kemerovo. You can familiarize yourself with this information in detail on our.

Spray Aqua Maris® should first of all be used after visiting public places, as the air in them is saturated with pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, there is a high risk of contact with carriers of ARVI. Therefore, the removal of viruses and bacteria from the surface of the mucous membrane after such walks is an especially important point! If possible, it is better to do this before visiting crowded places (kindergarten, school, metro, clinic, etc.) to maintain the mucous membrane in "combat readiness".

The physiological solution, in addition to water and ordinary table salt, does not contain additional beneficial trace elements. The water for the production of Aqua Maris® is extracted in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Adriatic Sea Biosphere Reserve, it contains 7-14% more useful trace elements and minerals * necessary for the full functioning of the nasal mucosa, compared to ordinary sea water. Zinc and selenium increase local mucosal immunity. Calcium and magnesium stimulate the motor activity of ciliated cells, as a result of which pathogenic viruses and bacteria cannot gain a foothold on the mucosa and cause inflammation. Iodine and sodium chloride normalize the production of nasal mucus and also have an antiseptic effect. Aqua Maris® acts directly on the nasal mucosa, contributing to the maintenance of a normal, physiological state. Therefore, prevention of colds and runny nose with Aqua Maris® is more effective than using saline.
* -Ion chromatographic method development for monitoring of seawater quality used in over-the-counter pharmaceutical industry. Tomislav Bolanča, Štefica Cerjan-Stefanovič, Melita Regelja, Danijela Štanfel. Journal of Separation Science, Volume 28, Issue 13, 2005.

It is advisable to use Aqua Maris® spray a few minutes before going outside.

An air humidifier is a useful thing in everyday life. Yes, they indirectly help moisturize the nasal mucosa. But seawater (it is it that has a positive effect) cannot be poured into a humidifier, and its effect will end as soon as you are outside the house. Spray Aqua Maris® irrigates the mucous membrane with sterile seawater, saturating it with useful microelements and helping to restore its protective functions. A humidifier, you must agree, is beyond our powers!

It is imperative that seawater be diluted because in its “natural” state it has an excessively high concentration of salts. Diluting seawater with distilled water, it is artificially brought to an "isotonic" state, in which the concentration of sodium chloride is 0.9%, which corresponds to the level in human blood plasma. It is in contact with an isotonic solution that the nasal mucosa "feels" most comfortable, physiological. The water in the Aqua Maris® spray, taken from the cleanest areas of the Adriatic Sea, is especially rich in beneficial trace elements, as proven by a study published in the Journal of Separation Science. In these places there are 7-14% more trace elements and minerals than in other bodies of water with sea water.

Aqua Maris® cannot be replaced with water and salt, since in this case only sodium chloride (table salt) solution is obtained. With home cooking, it is almost impossible to accurately select the proportion of salt and maintain sterility, so there is a risk of causing more harm than good to the mucous membrane: an incorrect concentration can cause swelling or even a burn of the mucous membrane. Aqua Maris® has a unique composition of trace elements obtained from the water of the Adriatic Sea - one of the cleanest bodies of water on the planet. Zinc and selenium increase local mucosal immunity. Calcium and magnesium stimulate the motor activity of ciliated cells, as a result of which pathogenic viruses and bacteria cannot gain a foothold on the mucous membrane and cause inflammation. Iodine and sodium chloride normalize the production of nasal mucus and also produce an antiseptic effect. The sterility of Aqua Maris® in production is ensured by a special method of seawater filtration, which makes it possible to preserve all useful trace elements and remove organic particles (bacteria, plant and animal substances) without the use of aggressive sterilization methods.

Aquamaris Plus consists of isotonic seawater. This solution contains a large amount of mineral salts and trace elements that have a powerful anti-inflammatory and healing effect.

When the drug is instilled into the nose, the edema of the mucous membranes decreases and the discharge of thick mucus improves. In addition, the nasal passages are perfectly cleaned of dry crusts and moisturized.

Description

The active ingredient of the drug is isotonic sea water. The medication is dispensed from pharmacies in the form of a spray. As part of "Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol there are such useful substances as:

  • potassium;
  • magnesium;
  • chlorine;
  • sulfur.

Additional components supplement the drug:

  • water;
  • dexpanthenol.

"Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol is produced in sterile dark glass vials, thirty milliliters each. Each tube is equipped with a spray that is tightly closed with a plastic cap.

The shelf life of the drug is twenty four months. Once opened, it should only be used for sixty days. Keep the medication in a cool and dark place, preferably in the refrigerator.

Before each use, the can should be warmed in hands to room temperature.

Pharmacological properties

Aquamaris with dexpanthenol helps to thin thick mucus and stabilize its production by the cells of the nasal mucosa. Other useful components, which are also present in the solution, improve the functioning of epithelial tissue and increase immunity.

If rhinitis (runny nose) is provoked by allergic reactions, then thanks to a nasal spray from the nasal mucosa, sources of an unpleasant condition are eliminated and inflammation is reduced. The medicine can also be used for prophylaxis, to cleanse the nose from dust of various etiologies.

Positive action

Thanks to the mineral salts and other useful components included in the preparation, the spray has a softening effect and neutralizes dryness in the nose. Dexpanthenol is a pantothenic acid that helps in rapid tissue repair. This component in the human body has a beneficial effect on the skin and mucous membranes. Useful actions of provitamin B5:

  1. Participates in metabolic processes.
  2. Takes part in oxidation.
  3. Helps bind acetylcholine and porphyrin.
  4. Normalizes metabolic processes in cages.
  5. Strengthens the strength of fabrics.

Dexpanthenol has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. Pantothenic acid is considered a derivative of this component, which helps to quickly regenerate the mucous membrane. Without provitamin B5 in the body, the skin cannot function properly.

Indications

According to the instructions for use, "Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol is prescribed both for preventive purposes and to eliminate pathological processes in the nasopharynx and other otolaryngological organs. The following conditions and diseases are considered the main indications for the use of the drug:

  1. Rhinitis (an inflammatory process in the nasal mucosa, which is manifested by swelling and nasal congestion, discharge of copious mucous secretions from the nose, burning, tickling and scratching in the nasal cavity, deterioration of smell).
  2. Sinusitis (inflammation of the lining of one or more paranasal sinuses).
  3. Colds.
  4. For quick healing of the mucous cavity after surgical interventions on the nasal cavity.
  5. For allergies and vasomotor rhinitis.
  6. To reduce the likelihood of colds.
  7. To eliminate dryness of the nasal mucosa.

In addition, "Aquamaris" can be used for prophylaxis for those people whose respiratory organs regularly experience harmful effects from the outside. This medication is recommended to irrigate the nasal passages of smokers, as well as workers in hazardous industries, with poor ecology.

"Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol during pregnancy is the number one drug during this period. This medication has no effect on the body of the expectant mother and child.

Limitations

According to the instructions for use for "Aquamaris" it is known that it is not recommended to use it in case of drug intolerance. In addition, age up to one year is indicated in contraindications. But doctors sometimes ignore this limitation and prescribe Aquamaris to newborns, the dosage in this situation can be reduced.

The spray is not a toxic medicine, therefore, the ban on the use of the drug in infants may be due to the lack of practice in seawater therapy for this category of patients.

Mode of application

According to the instructions for use, it is known that the dosage of the medication depends on what the medication is used for. If Aquamaris is used for therapeutic purposes, the concentration of the active substance will be as follows:

  1. Patients from one to seven years old are prescribed two irrigations four times a day.
  2. "Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol for children from seven to sixteen years old is recommended to use two sprays in each nostril, up to six times a day.
  3. Adolescents from sixteen years old and adult patients are prescribed two spray irrigations, up to eight times a day.

The duration of therapy is approximately four weeks. After a short "rest", the course of treatment can be repeated.

For preventive purposes, children and adults are injected into the nasal passages for fourteen days, two doses of the medication four times a day. Children of younger preschool age are recommended to use one injection of Aquamaris twice a day.

It is advisable to rinse the nose at regular intervals, in which case the pharmacological effect of the drug will be slightly higher.

Adverse reactions

"Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol contains natural substances that are not toxic. As a rule, the nasal spray is well tolerated by both adult patients and children.

In special situations, with increased sensitivity, certain negative effects may be observed.

Adverse reactions are manifested in the form of itching and swelling of the nasal mucosa, and urticaria may also appear around the nasal passages.

All negative effects are eliminated almost immediately after stopping the use of the drug.

Interaction

"Aquamaris" with dexpanthenol does not interact with other medicines, since it does not have any effect on the body as a whole. The solution can be used in the implementation of complex therapy, together with antimicrobial, as well as antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The drug can be used to flush the nasal passages before using vasoconstrictor drops. Sea water delicately cleanses the nose of mucus and dried crusts.

After irrigation, wait about fifteen minutes and then gently blow your nose. For small patients, the nasal passages are gently cleaned with a cotton swab.

Sea water, which is part of the structure of the spray, cleans the nasal cavity well from secretions. The drug has anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects, and dexpanthenol helps to quickly regenerate cells.

Use for the treatment of burns, bedsores, diaper rash or diaper dermatitis in adults, children (including infants and newborns), as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Composition of the preparation.

Dexpanthenol - a derivative of pantothenic acid.


Pantothenic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin, is an integral part of coenzyme A. It stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, and increases the strength of collagen fibers. An increase in the need for pantothenic acid is observed when the skin or tissues are damaged, and its deficiency can be compensated for by topical application of dexpanthenol. Optimum molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity make it possible to penetrate into all layers of the skin. It has a regenerating, weak anti-inflammatory effect.

Composition

Dexpanthenol + excipients.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied topically, it is rapidly absorbed and converted into pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin).

Indications

  • violations of the integrity of the skin caused by mechanical, chemical, temperature factors or after surgical interventions (burns of various origins (including sunburn); scratches, abrasions, wounds; pressure sores; poorly healing skin grafts; aseptic postoperative wounds);
  • inflammatory processes on the skin; dermatitis; boils; trophic ulcers of the lower extremities; skin care around the tracheostomy, gastrostomy and colostomy;
  • treatment and prevention of the consequences of adverse effects on the skin of environmental factors (cold, wind, dampness);
  • in children - diaper dermatitis, scratches and minor irritation after exposure to the sun, ultraviolet and X-rays; treatment and prevention of diaper rash;

Ointment Dexpanthenol is an effective drug that has a healing and moisturizing effect.

The drug activates skin regeneration, improves metabolic processes in cells and increases blood microcirculation. The ointment has a wide list of indications for use and is prescribed for the treatment of various diseases of the skin in children and adults.

On this page you will find all the information about Dexpanthenol: full instructions for use for this drug, average prices in pharmacies, complete and incomplete analogues of the drug, as well as reviews of people who have already used Dexpanthenol ointment. Want to leave your opinion? Please write in the comments.

A drug that improves trophism and tissue regeneration, for external use.

Available without a prescription.

How much does Dexpanthenol cost? The average price in pharmacies is 150 rubles.

Dexpanthenol is a homogeneous light yellow ointment with a characteristic lanolin odor. The drug is intended for external use in order to affect mainly tissue metabolism. 1 g of ointment contains 50 mg of dexpanthenol.

The ointment is produced in metal tubes (aluminum) of 30 g and 25 g, metal tubes are packed in individual cardboard boxes.

Dexpanthenol is a drug for external use with a regenerating and metabolic effect, as well as some anti-inflammatory effect.

Dexpanthenol is a B vitamin derived from pantothenic acid. In tissues, dexpanthenol is converted into pantothenic acid, which is part of coenzyme A. As part of coenzyme A, pantothenic acid takes part in the processes of acetylation, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of acetylcholine, porphyrins and corticosteroids. The medication stimulates the regenerative processes of the mucous membranes and skin, accelerates mitosis, increases the density of collagen fibers, and also normalizes cell metabolism.

When applied externally, dexpanthenol penetrates well into the deep layers of the skin and the systemic circulation. In tissues, it is metabolized to form pantothenic acid, which binds to beta-globulin, albumin and other plasma proteins. It is excreted in the form of pantothenic acid.

Ointment Dexpanthenol is an external drug that is prescribed in the following cases:

  • burns (thermal, sun, etc.);
  • aseptic postoperative wounds;
  • dermatitis;
  • boils;
  • abscesses;
  • bedsores;
  • cracked milk nipples;
  • cuts;
  • abrasions;
  • excessive dryness of the skin;
  • pathologies of the mucous membrane of the pharynx of the uterus, etc.

Ointment Dexpanthenol is not prescribed for intolerance to the active or auxiliary components of the drug.

Caution on indications:

  • cracks and inflammation of the nipples of the mammary gland in nursing mothers.

The instructions for use indicate that Dexpanthenol ointment is applied 2-4 times / day (more often if necessary). It is applied in a thin layer to the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, rubbing lightly. If applied to an infected skin surface, it should be pretreated with any antiseptic.

For nursing mothers, lubricate the surface of the nipple with ointment after each breastfeeding.

Babies are given ointment after each change of linen or water treatment.

Dexpanthenol ointment rarely causes side effects. In patients with hypersensitivity, systemic and local allergic reactions may develop.

For use in the treatment of skin lesions of Dexapanthenol in any dosage form in old age, it is necessary to monitor the reaction of the body due to the high probability of visual impairment, a decrease in the degree of activity: the active ingredient can negatively affect the body of an elderly person.

When using Dexapanthenol with other drugs of a similar effect, its effectiveness does not decrease.


We have compiled some reviews of people about the drug Dexpanthenol:

  1. Olga. I have been using dexpanthenol (as well as d-panthenol and bepanten) for over 5 years. for children I buy a more expensive bepanten (with a pink stripe, for mothers and babies it seems), and for myself a simpler option is dexpanthenol. I have a problem - the skin on my fingers is cracking from local water. and no matter how much you try to wash the dishes with gloves, your hands still end up in water (rinse one cup, then wash yourself, then rinse some other trifle). at night, I smear all my fingers with dexpanthenol. heals very well. But! allergy to dexpanthenol itself: it itches then strongly. unfortunately something equally effective in terms of healing is bursting on the fingers. This is how I suffer: I smear with dexpanthenol so that it heals quickly, and then in the first half of the day I want and scratch the places where the ointment was.
  2. Marina. I have been using this ointment for over 5 years. I have a problem - cracks appear on my hands, since the local water greatly dries the skin, even if I do household chores with gloves. I use the drug at night, grease my fingers abundantly. Only this drug is effective and has an affordable price in comparison with analogues.
  3. Eugene. She used the ointment when she was breastfeeding her first child. At the very beginning of breastfeeding, the nipples cracked, it was very painful to feed my baby - right to tears. Dexpanthenol is simply salvation in such a situation. Heals wounds and cracks, removes dry skin. The ointment showed very well when applied to a child. Under a diaper, with scratches, abrasions. The price pleases and the range of action is large, the effectiveness has been proven over the years on its own experience.
  4. Nikolay. Not a bad ointment! I even used it for a child of 10 years old and without any side effects. I tried it on myself, the effect was worse.

Analogs of the drug in question include:

  1. Panthenol, presented in the form of a spray, convenient for treating large areas of damaged skin, ointment and gel (the cost of the drug is 150-280 rubles, depending on the type of dosage form).
  2. Solcoseryl ointment, which has a high degree of effectiveness when processing relatively small surfaces (the price is 110-130 rubles per tube).
  3. Erythromycin ointment (price 80-120 rubles).

Before using analogs, consult your doctor.

Essentially the same medicine. In both, the active ingredient is dexpanthenol. Nevertheless, the question of which is better, Bepanten or Dexpanthenol, is very often asked on the forums. This is the subject of many articles.

In general, a drug called Dexpanthenol is much cheaper than Bepanten. According to reviews, it is as effective as its expensive German counterpart.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Store at temperatures up to 25 ° C, protected from moisture, aerosol - away from heating devices.

Shelf life: ointment - 2 years, aerosol - see the package.

Eye gel Korneregel contains 5% of the active substance dexpanthenol, which helps to restore damaged areas of the skin and mucous membranes. It is a light, flowing substance, colorless and transparent. In ophthalmology, Korneregel is used to treat various erosions on the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye or its degenerative diseases. Once in the eye socket, the dosage form actively stimulates the regeneration processes in the entire limited space of the organ of vision. After using Korneregel, patients do not experience irritation and discomfort when wearing lenses.

The drug Korneregel gel is produced in tubes with a capacity of 5 or 10 g, packed in cardboard boxes, where instructions for use are attached to the drug. Although the drug can be purchased without a prescription, it is best to consult an ophthalmologist before purchasing a gel.

Korneregel, when applied, has an anti-inflammatory effect and promotes rapid healing of damaged tissue layers. The dexpanthenol gel contains auxiliary ingredients that create its light and flowing form. The composition includes the following components:

  • cetrimide;
  • disodium salt;
  • sodium hydroxide;
  • carbomer;
  • water for injections.

Cetrimide belongs to antiseptic disinfectants that are used in ophthalmology for the preparation of various forms. It has antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is effective against some viruses.

Carbomer and disodium salt prevent the composition from penetrating through the tissues of the eyeball into the systemic circulation and help to prolong the period of interaction of the solution with the surface layer of corneal cells.

Sodium hydroxide serves to remove destroyed cells, and dexpanthenol restores them, supplying a large amount of pantothenic acid to tissues in need of regeneration.

Patients tolerate Korneregel well and note its beneficial effects on the eyes when wearing lenses, irritation and dryness of the eyes from bright light and long work on the computer.

The eye gel quickly restores the damaged cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye with minor mechanical damage. It cools, removes dryness, irritation that people with poor eyesight often experience, who are forced to wear lenses all the time.

Korneregel can be prescribed for the following conditions and eye diseases:

  • keratitis;
  • corneal ulcer;
  • corneal degeneration;
  • unspecified corneal disease;
  • trauma to the eye and orbit;
  • thermal and chemical burns of the eye and its adnexa.

When using the product, you must follow the rules:

  1. In order not to infect the pipette, use the vial carefully, without touching the working edge with your hands.
  2. When instilling, do not touch the eye surface with the stables.
  3. After use, the bottle is tightly closed and placed in a dark, cool place.
  4. An open product can only be used for 6 weeks. During this time, a 5 ml package usually ends with regular use.
  5. Store the product in a cool place, observing the rules of hygiene.

Eye gel Korneregel, produced in Germany by the firm Bausch and Lomb, has analogues of domestic and foreign production. Other ophthalmic preparations with dexpanthenol can be purchased as analogues in the pharmacy. These can be drops or gels, which also contain provitamin B5.

The exact analogue of the drug Korneregel was the Dexpanthenol eye gel, produced in Russia and neighboring countries by many pharmaceutical companies. It fully corresponds to the used dose of the active substance, but has different additional components. Therefore, individual sensations after using the drug from different manufacturers may differ.

Kornergel has analogues containing the same active substance, but manufactured in other pharmaceutical forms. They have the same price, but differ in the auxiliary components. The most famous are Hilozar-Komod eye moisturizing solutions, made in Germany, and Stillavit, a Russian-made drug. There are many different ingredients in the last preparation, which can cause an individual intolerance to the eye moisturizer.

Unlike its drip counterparts, Korneregel is absorbed gradually. After the destruction of the shell of a soluble polymer, this drug is gradually, over a long time, released into the tear fluid at a constant rate.

This compares favorably with the simultaneous administration of the same dose in drops. This is the main advantage of the gel dosage form over eye drops.

Dexpanthenol and other substances that are part of Korneregel sometimes cause an allergic reaction. This can be itchy, uncomfortable and irritating to the eyes, blurred vision, and burning sensation.

Eye gel after application can cause hives, which spreads over the face, shoulders, chest. With such side effects, Korneregel eye gel is canceled and another option for treatment is selected with the doctor.

Ophthalmic Korneregel is recommended to be used after all other drops, if they are prescribed for the treatment of the eyes. The main condition for the instructions for use is the ten-minute time interval between the use of two dosage forms.

When using an eye gel, you need to refuse to wear soft contact lenses. When using rigid types of lenses, they must be removed before applying the drug and put on after 15 minutes.

Chronic renal failure, pregnancy and lactation require careful attention to the use of the drug. The active substance is not toxic, but it is excreted through the kidneys, which can cause a negative local reaction.

Applying Korneregel eye gel, you should stop driving a vehicle for the duration of treatment. Occupations with potentially hazardous activities should also be postponed until the end of the course, because attention and the speed of psychomotor reactions will be slightly slowed down.

Analogues of Dexpanthenol in the presence of available structural analogs. Use for the treatment of burns, bedsores, diaper rash or diaper dermatitis in adults, children (including infants and newborns), as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Composition of the preparation.

Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid.

Pantothenic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin, is an integral part of coenzyme A. It stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, and increases the strength of collagen fibers. An increase in the need for pantothenic acid is observed when the skin or tissues are damaged, and its deficiency can be compensated for by topical application of dexpanthenol. Optimum molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity make it possible to penetrate into all layers of the skin. It has a regenerating, weak anti-inflammatory effect.

Dexpanthenol + excipients.

Dexpanthenol is a homogeneous light yellow ointment with a characteristic lanolin odor. The drug is intended for external use in order to affect mainly tissue metabolism. 1 g of ointment contains 50 mg of dexpanthenol.

The ointment is produced in metal tubes (aluminum) of 30 g and 25 g, metal tubes are packed in individual cardboard boxes.

Dexpanthenol is a drug for external use with a regenerating and metabolic effect, as well as some anti-inflammatory effect.

Dexpanthenol is a B vitamin derived from pantothenic acid. In tissues, dexpanthenol is converted into pantothenic acid, which is part of coenzyme A. As part of coenzyme A, pantothenic acid takes part in the processes of acetylation, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the formation of acetylcholine, porphyrins and corticosteroids. The medication stimulates the regenerative processes of the mucous membranes and skin, accelerates mitosis, increases the density of collagen fibers, and also normalizes cell metabolism.

When applied externally, dexpanthenol penetrates well into the deep layers of the skin and the systemic circulation. In tissues, it is metabolized to form pantothenic acid, which binds to beta-globulin, albumin and other plasma proteins. It is excreted in the form of pantothenic acid.

Ointment Dexpanthenol is an external drug that is prescribed in the following cases:

  • burns (thermal, sun, etc.);
  • aseptic postoperative wounds;
  • dermatitis;
  • boils;
  • abscesses;

  • cuts;
  • abrasions;
  • excessive dryness of the skin;
  • pathologies of the mucous membrane of the pharynx of the uterus, etc.

Ointment Dexpanthenol is not prescribed for intolerance to the active or auxiliary components of the drug.

Caution on indications:

  • cracks and inflammation of the nipples of the mammary gland in nursing mothers.

The instructions for use indicate that Dexpanthenol ointment is applied 2-4 times / day (more often if necessary). It is applied in a thin layer to the affected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, rubbing lightly. If applied to an infected skin surface, it should be pretreated with any antiseptic.

For nursing mothers, lubricate the surface of the nipple with ointment after each breastfeeding.

Babies are given ointment after each change of linen or water treatment.

Dexpanthenol ointment rarely causes side effects. In patients with hypersensitivity, systemic and local allergic reactions may develop.

For use in the treatment of skin lesions of Dexapanthenol in any dosage form in old age, it is necessary to monitor the reaction of the body due to the high probability of visual impairment, a decrease in the degree of activity: the active ingredient can negatively affect the body of an elderly person.

When using Dexapanthenol with other drugs of a similar effect, its effectiveness does not decrease.

We have compiled some reviews of people about the drug Dexpanthenol:

  1. Olga. I have been using dexpanthenol (as well as d-panthenol and bepanten) for over 5 years. for children I buy a more expensive bepanten (with a pink stripe, for mothers and babies it seems), and for myself a simpler option is dexpanthenol. I have a problem - the skin on my fingers is cracking from local water. and no matter how much you try to wash the dishes with gloves, your hands still end up in water (rinse one cup, then wash yourself, then rinse some other trifle). at night, I smear all my fingers with dexpanthenol. heals very well. But! allergy to dexpanthenol itself: it itches then strongly. unfortunately something equally effective in terms of healing is bursting on the fingers. This is how I suffer: I smear with dexpanthenol so that it heals quickly, and then in the first half of the day I want and scratch the places where the ointment was.
  2. Marina. I have been using this ointment for over 5 years. I have a problem - cracks appear on my hands, since the local water greatly dries the skin, even if I do household chores with gloves. I use the drug at night, grease my fingers abundantly. Only this drug is effective and has an affordable price in comparison with analogues.
  3. Eugene. She used the ointment when she was breastfeeding her first child. At the very beginning of breastfeeding, the nipples cracked, it was very painful to feed my baby - right to tears. Dexpanthenol is simply salvation in such a situation. Heals wounds and cracks, removes dry skin. The ointment showed very well when applied to a child. Under a diaper, with scratches, abrasions. The price pleases and the range of action is large, the effectiveness has been proven over the years on its own experience.
  4. Nikolay. Not a bad ointment! I even used it for a child of 10 years old and without any side effects. I tried it on myself, the effect was worse.

Analogs of the drug in question include:

  1. Panthenol, presented in the form of a spray, convenient for treating large areas of damaged skin, ointment and gel (the cost of the drug is 150-280 rubles, depending on the type of dosage form).
  2. Solcoseryl ointment, which has a high degree of effectiveness when processing relatively small surfaces (the price is 110-130 rubles per tube).
  3. Erythromycin ointment (price 80-120 rubles).

Before using analogs, consult your doctor.

Essentially the same medicine. In both, the active ingredient is dexpanthenol. Nevertheless, the question of which is better, Bepanten or Dexpanthenol, is very often asked on the forums. This is the subject of many articles.

In general, a drug called Dexpanthenol is much cheaper than Bepanten. According to reviews, it is as effective as its expensive German counterpart.

Keep out of the reach of children.

Store at temperatures up to 25 ° C, protected from moisture, aerosol - away from heating devices.

Eye gel Korneregel contains 5% of the active substance dexpanthenol, which helps to restore damaged areas of the skin and mucous membranes. It is a light flowing substance, colorless and transparent. In ophthalmology, Korneregel is used to treat various erosions on the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye or its degenerative diseases. Once in the orbit, the dosage form actively stimulates the regeneration processes in the entire limited space of the organ of vision. After using Korneregel, patients do not experience irritation and discomfort when wearing lenses.

The drug Korneregel gel is produced in tubes with a capacity of 5 or 10 g, packed in cardboard boxes, where instructions for use are attached to the drug. Although the drug can be purchased without a prescription, it is best to consult an ophthalmologist before purchasing a gel.

Korneregel, when applied, has an anti-inflammatory effect and promotes rapid healing of damaged tissue layers. The dexpanthenol gel contains auxiliary ingredients that create its light and flowing form. The composition includes the following components:

  • cetrimide;
  • disodium salt;
  • sodium hydroxide;
  • carbomer;
  • water for injections.

Cetrimide belongs to antiseptic disinfectants that are used in ophthalmology for the preparation of various forms. It has antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is effective against some viruses.

Carbomer and disodium salt prevent the composition from penetrating through the tissues of the eyeball into the systemic circulation and help to prolong the period of interaction of the solution with the surface layer of corneal cells.

Sodium hydroxide serves to remove destroyed cells, and dexpanthenol restores them, supplying a large amount of pantothenic acid to tissues in need of regeneration.

Patients tolerate Korneregel well and note its beneficial effects on the eyes when wearing lenses, irritation and dryness of the eyes from bright light and long work on the computer.

The eye gel quickly restores the damaged cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye with minor mechanical damage. It cools, removes dryness, irritation that people with poor eyesight often experience, who are forced to wear lenses all the time.

Korneregel can be prescribed for the following conditions and eye diseases:

  • keratitis;
  • corneal ulcer;
  • corneal degeneration;
  • unspecified corneal disease;
  • trauma to the eye and orbit;
  • thermal and chemical burns of the eye and its adnexa.

When using the product, you must follow the rules:

  1. In order not to infect the pipette, use the vial carefully, without touching the working edge with your hands.
  2. When instilling, do not touch the eye surface with the stables.
  3. After use, the bottle is tightly closed and placed in a dark, cool place.
  4. An open product can only be used for 6 weeks. During this time, a 5 ml package usually ends with regular use.
  5. Store the product in a cool place, observing the rules of hygiene.

Eye gel Korneregel, produced in Germany by the firm Bausch and Lomb, has analogues of domestic and foreign production. Other ophthalmic preparations with dexpanthenol can be purchased as analogues in the pharmacy. These can be drops or gels, which also contain provitamin B5.

The exact analogue of the drug Korneregel was the Dexpanthenol eye gel, produced in Russia and neighboring countries by many pharmaceutical companies. It fully corresponds to the used dose of the active substance, but has different additional components. Therefore, individual sensations after using the drug from different manufacturers may differ.

Kornergel has analogues containing the same active substance, but manufactured in other pharmaceutical forms. They have the same price, but differ in the auxiliary components. The most famous are Hilozar-Komod eye moisturizing solutions, made in Germany, and Stillavit, a Russian-made drug. There are many different ingredients in the last preparation, which can cause an individual intolerance to the eye moisturizer.

Unlike its drip counterparts, Korneregel is absorbed gradually. After the destruction of the shell of a soluble polymer, this drug is gradually, over a long time, released into the tear fluid at a constant rate.

This compares favorably with the simultaneous administration of the same dose in drops. This is the main advantage of the gel dosage form over eye drops.

Dexpanthenol and other substances that are part of Korneregel sometimes cause an allergic reaction. This can be itchy, uncomfortable and irritating to the eyes, blurred vision, and burning sensation.

Eye gel after application can cause hives, which spreads over the face, shoulders, chest. With such side effects, Korneregel eye gel is canceled and another option for treatment is selected with the doctor.

Ophthalmic Korneregel is recommended to be used after all other drops, if they are prescribed for the treatment of the eyes. The main condition for the instructions for use is the ten-minute time interval between the use of two dosage forms.

When using an eye gel, you need to refuse to wear soft contact lenses. When using rigid types of lenses, they must be removed before applying the drug and put on after 15 minutes.

Chronic renal failure, pregnancy and lactation require careful attention to the use of the drug. The active substance is not toxic, but it is excreted through the kidneys, which can cause a negative local reaction.

Applying Korneregel eye gel, you should stop driving a vehicle for the duration of treatment. Occupations with potentially hazardous activities should also be postponed until the end of the course, because attention and the speed of psychomotor reactions will be slightly slowed down.

Reviews of spray Aquamaris plus

When I suffer from a severe cold, I cannot use vasoconstrictor drugs for a long time, because I have weak blood vessels. But last summer I found an alternative to them - Aquamaris Plus spray. It does not lead to vasomotor and chronic rhinitis, with prolonged use it is not addictive and does not harm the body. But it perfectly helps to cure a runny nose in combination with other drugs. I use the spray regularly... Especially in winter, when heating radiators start to work and the air dries out in the apartment. Now, if I have a sheet, then I use Aquamaris plus and I suffer less from a cold. In my review, I advise everyone to try this drug.

On the advice of a pharmacist, I bought Aquamaris Plus spray, the cost of which turned out to be quite big. But it brings many more benefits to various cheap medicines. Instructions for use are written on the carton. But more detailed instructions are inside the box. The spray is very good... It can be used prophylactically during seasonal colds. With its help, after surgical interventions, crusts are very well removed. It can be advised to use it for smokers to clear the nose of tobacco. I advise everyone to protect their health with water from the Adriatic Sea.

In my review, I want to tell you how Aquamaris plus nasal spray with sea water helped me get rid of severe nasal congestion. During pregnancy, I got sick with the flu, and many medicines could not be used. The runny nose was such that I could only breathe through my mouth. Then my attending physician advised me Aquamaris plus, which has no contraindications. It contains seawater and does not harm the mucous membrane and the body as a whole. With its help, I got rid of mucus in just a few days and was able to breathe normally.

For several years now I have been suffering from tonsillitis, which has become chronic. Over the past year, the disease has exacerbated as many as three times. Not knowing what to do, I decided to read information and reviews on the Internet, where I came across tips to use the Aquamaris Plus spray. It contains dexpanthenol, which not only moisturizes the mucous membrane, but also heals it. This is especially important after the use of drugs that dry out the nasal mucosa.

After rinsing the nasal passages with sea water, I recommend it to everyone in ten minutes to bury influenza... Such procedures should be repeated up to five times a day. Between them, you need to gargle with a soda-salt solution, alternating with chamomile decoction. At night, be sure to do inhalations with eucalyptus essential oil and baking soda. Such a simple treatment literally in three days with the next exacerbation saved me from the green mucus in the nasopharynx without any antibiotics.

I read many positive reviews about Aquamaris Plus spray and decided to buy it to treat my eternal rhinitis. I used it for two whole months, but I never got any effect. Sprayed in each move several times, after which the nose breathed for only ten minutes. Then it became impossible to breathe again, because the nasal passages quickly blocked. You can use the drug only for hygienic purposes, but it costs a lot. With the same effect, you can rinse your nose with plain water. And even after applying the spray I have for some reason lays ears. FROMaquamaris plus copes with its task if a runny nose and a cold are just beginning.

I have a problem with the mucous membranes in the sinuses, so vasoconstrictor drops cannot be used constantly. To alleviate the condition with a runny nose, the otorhinolaryngologist prescribed Aquamaris Plus spray to me. The doctor explained that the dexpanthenol included in it is able to restore the mucous membrane. I purchased a 30 ml bottle, which is very convenient to take with me by simply throwing it into its bag.

The drug can be used for prophylaxis or medicinal purposes. It is quite expensive, especially considering that it contains practically only one sea water. But the effect of the spray is tangible. With my chronic rhinitis you have to use it all the time... The drug helps very well to cope with allergic reactions during flowering plants and in the prevention of viral infections. In my review, I want to advise you to use Aquamaris spray plus those who suffer from chronic rhinitis and allergies.

Most recently, she suffered from a runny nose, which she treated with vasoconstrictors. The mucus from the sinuses had already stopped running, but the nose still refused to breathe. In addition, the mucous membrane was so dry that when blown out, even blood ran. Even the receptors completely stopped working. I practically did not distinguish smells.

I decided to consult a pharmacist at the pharmacy, who recommended Aquamaris plus to me. I only knew about this drug that it pierces the nose very well... It turns out that sea water with dexpanthenol also heals. On the first day I used the spray quite often. Dryness in the nasal passages began to give up only towards the end of the second day. The crusts formed in the nose softened and disappeared. Now I always have this spray in my medicine cabinet. We use it with the whole family for hygiene purposes, for the prevention and treatment of rhinitis.
