Novatenol, ointment 5% 25 g

Pharmacotherapeutic group:

Tissue repair stimulator

ATX code: D03 AX03

Pharmacological properties:

Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid. In the body it is metabolized into pantothenic acid, which is part of coenzyme A and is involved in acetylation processes, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, the synthesis of acetylcholine, glucocorticosteroids, porphyrins, stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers. It has a regenerating, metabolic and mild anti-inflammatory effect. An increased need for pantothenic acid is observed in skin or tissue damage, and its deficiency can be compensated by topical application of Novatenol®. Its optimal molecular weight, hydrophilicity and low polarity allow its penetration into all layers of the skin.

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

Indications

dry skin;
wounds and burns of various origins (including sunburn), scratches, abrasions;
bedsores, poorly surviving skin grafts, aseptic postoperative wounds, skin care around tracheostomies, gastrostomies and colostomies;
dermatitis, boils after opening and sanitation, trophic ulcers of the lower extremities;
Treatment and prevention of cracks and inflammation of the nipples of the mammary gland during lactation.

Treatment and prevention of the consequences of adverse effects on the skin of environmental factors (cold, wind, dampness).

Infant care:

prevention and treatment of diaper rash in infants,
activation of the skin healing process for minor injuries, diaper dermatitis, diaper erythema, scratches and minor irritation after exposure to the sun, ultraviolet and x-rays.

Pharmacological effect

Pharmacotherapeutic group:

Tissue repair stimulator

ATX code: D03 AX03

Pharmacological properties:

Dexpanthenol is a derivative of pantothenic acid. In the body it is metabolized into pantothenic acid, which is an integral part of coenzyme A and is involved in the processes of acetylation, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, in the synthesis of acetylcholine, glucocorticosteroids, porphyrins; stimulates skin regeneration, normalizes cellular metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers. It has a regenerating, metabolic and mild anti-inflammatory effect.

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.

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