Description

Pantenol-TEVA (dexpanthenol) Ointment 5% – 35g Tube

Dexpanthenol, the active ingredient in Pantenol-TEVA ointment, is a derivative of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). This ointment is used topically to help improve skin hydration and promote wound healing. It is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as cuts, scrapes, burns, and dry skin.

Composition

Each 35g tube of Pantenol-TEVA ointment contains 5% dexpanthenol as the active ingredient. Dexpanthenol is a provitamin of pantothenic acid, which is an essential nutrient for the synthesis of coenzyme A.

Mechanism of Action

Dexpanthenol is converted to pantothenic acid in the skin, which is an essential component of coenzyme A. Coenzyme A plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of fatty acids and the production of energy. When applied topically, dexpanthenol helps to improve skin hydration and enhance the skin’s natural repair processes, promoting wound healing and skin regeneration.
