Corneregel

Korneregel

Compound:

Each gram of gel contains:

Dexpanthenol 50 mg

Auxiliary components:

Polyacrylic acid, disodium edetate.

Properties

The active substance of Korneregel is dexpanthenol / panthenol, a precursor of pantothenic acid, which thus has all the same biological properties as D-pantothenic acid, which, having turned into coenzyme A in the human body, is involved in many metabolic processes.

Data obtained in experiments on animals indicate an increase in fibroblast proliferation and the presence of a regenerative effect. When applied externally, dexpanthenol is able to compensate for the increased need for damaged skin or mucous membranes in pantothenic acid.

The ophthalmic gel has a high viscosity, which makes it possible to achieve prolonged contact of dexpanthenol with the surface of the mucous membrane of the eye.

Indications

— treatment of non-inflammatory keratopathy, such as corneal dystrophy, recurrent erosions, corneal lesions when wearing contact lenses;

— as an adjunctive therapy to stimulate the healing process of the cornea and conjunctiva in case of their injuries and burns (chemical and thermal);

— as an aid in the treatment of infectious lesions of the cornea of bacterial, viral or fungal origin.
