pharmachologic effect

The active substance of the drug is dexpanthenol (dexpanthenol) - provitamin B5. It is freely adsorbed by human skin cells. After the substance enters the cells of the epithelium, the dexpanthenol transforms, so that it becomes pantothenic acid.
The influence of Bepanthen on the body is caused by vitamin B5. Pantothenic acid is a part of coenzyme A. It promotes the processes of regeneration of the skin of the mucous membranes, takes part in acetylation, the synthesis of acetylcholine. Under the influence of pantothenic acid, the metabolism of cells is normal, mitosis is activated, collagen fibers are strengthened. On the skin the preparation has a moisturizing, regenerating, and also some anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, the use of ointments or other forms of the drug is possible on any part of the skin. It is used to treat unprotected areas, wounds, as well as those areas of the skin that are covered with hair.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Bepanthen ointment is absorbed very quickly, after which its active transformation takes place. As a result, stocks of pantothenic acid are replenished. When pantothenic acid enters the bloodstream, it binds to plasma proteins, mainly with albumins and B-globulins. Unchanged, pantothenic acid is excreted from the body with urine and feces.
