Novatenol, cream 5% 25 g

Pharmacological group

Tissue regeneration stimulant

ATCode D03AX03

Pharmacological properties

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 cell metabolism and increases the strength of collagen fibers. An increased need for pantothenic acid is seen in skin or tissue damage, and its deficiency can be compensated by topical application of Novatenol®. Its optimum molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity allow its penetration into all layers of the skin. It has a regenerating, mildly anti-inflammatory effect, nourishes and softens the skin. The cream is enhanced with additional ingredients.

Pharmacokinetics: when applied topically it is quickly absorbed and converted to pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin).

Indications

scratches, abrasions;
irritation after exposure to ultraviolet (including solar) and X-ray radiation;

Stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, increases the strength of collagen fibers. An increased need for pantothenic acid is observed when the skin or tissues are damaged, and its deficiency can be compensated for by the local use of Novatenol.

Optimal molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity make it possible to penetrate into all layers of the skin. It has a regenerating, mild anti-inflammatory effect, nourishes and softens the skin. Excipients improve the properties of the cream.

Pharmacokinetics: when applied topically, it is quickly absorbed and converted into pantothenic acid, binds to plasma proteins (mainly beta-globulin and albumin).
