1. What is Alantan Plus and what is it used for
Alantan Plus is a topical ointment for application to the skin.
The medicine contains two active substances: allantoin and dexpanthenol. Allantoin has a keratolytic and protective effect on the skin, improves its hydration, and supports wound healing by stimulating the growth of new tissue. Regular use of allantoin in hyperkeratotic skin conditions can prevent excessive keratin deposition (a type of protein).
Dexpanthenol penetrates deep into the skin, where it is converted into pantothenic acid. Increased demand for pantothenic acid occurs in the case of skin damage and various skin diseases. Dexpanthenol has the ability to bind water, which increases skin elasticity.
Indications for use of Alantan Plus:
- prevention of diaper rash in infants,
- treatment of various types of wounds, such as abrasions, minor cuts, and skin cracks,
- treatment of sunburn and radiation therapy and phototherapy burns,
- care of irritated and dry skin,
- hyperkeratotic skin conditions of the hands and feet,
- supportive treatment in atopic dermatitis, allergic eczema, nasal mucositis, and leg ulcers.
