⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Allantoin gel stimulates cellular proliferation and supports the development of healthy cells. It suits the treatment of scars because it encourages epithelization and helps form an elastic surface.
The gel also contains an extract of allium cepa, which comes from the membrane of the onion (onion membrane). The extract has an antiphlogistic effect, because it inhibits the secretion of inflammatory mediators, and it has an anti-allergenic effect as well. It inhibits the growth of fibroblasts of different origin, particularly kelloidal fibroblasts. It also has a bactericidal effect. These properties stimulate primary wound healing, and the extract prevents non-physiological scar formation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
No studies have been done on Allantoin in pregnancy or during breastfeeding. So it should be used with caution in both.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
