Operating principle
The action of the drug is provided by the presence in its composition of dexpanthenol, which is a provitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).

This deficiency is able to fill dexpanthenol - once on the surface of the skin, it is quickly absorbed and penetrates even into its deepest layers, turning into pantothenic acid. That is why in the treatment of burns, it is preferable to use drugs with this component.
