Scientific Evidence

Dexpanthenol, the active ingredient in Pantenol-TEVA ointment, is a precursor of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and has been widely studied for its skin healing properties. Research has shown that dexpanthenol promotes wound healing by enhancing skin hydration, reducing inflammation, and accelerating epithelialization.

Additional Information

Pantenol-TEVA ointment is well-tolerated and suitable for all ages. It is a versatile product to have in your medicine cabinet for various skin issues. Remember to patch test before widespread use, especially on sensitive skin.

Pharmacological Effects: Dexpanthenol is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, an essential component of coenzyme A, which plays a key role in cellular metabolism and the synthesis of fatty acids. This process contributes to the regeneration and maintenance of healthy skin.

Clinical Trials: Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of dexpanthenol in promoting wound healing and improving skin barrier function. In a randomized controlled trial by Proksch et al., dexpanthenol-containing formulations were found to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation in skin injuries.
