Medicine Description dexpanol-wound 5gm
DEXPANOL WOUND 100 ml spray is a medication that contains dexpanthenol, the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). Upon application, dexpanthenol penetrates the skin and is converted to pantothenic acid, which plays a critical role in cellular metabolism and regeneration. This conversion supports various physiological processes including the synthesis of coenzyme A, essential for fatty acid metabolism and energy production. Dexpanthenol enhances the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes, contributing to skin repair and re-epithelialization. Additionally, it promotes hydration by improving the skin's barrier function, allowing for better moisture retention. This action not only aids in reducing inflammation and irritation but also forms a protective layer that shields wounds from external contaminants, thereby facilitating a conducive healing environment.
