Bepanten ointment 5% 30 g

Bepanten is a regenerating agent.

Pharmacodynamics

Dexpanthenol is rapidly converted in the skin cells into pantothenic acid, which is a component of CoA and plays an important role both in the formation and healing of damaged skin; stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cell metabolism.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied externally, it is rapidly absorbed by the skin (quickly absorbed) and converted to pantothenic acid and binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta globulin and albumin).
