Alantan plus is a medicine that helps heal and scar wounds. Its therapeutic effect is due to the activity of 2 elements - dexpanthenol with alantoin.

Allantoin has keratolytic properties. Prevents unnecessary deposition of keratin within areas that are prone to the formation of a thick epidermal layer. The substance accelerates the process of treating wound surfaces, stimulating the growth of new tissues, and at the same time it has a protective effect and helps moisturize the epidermis.

Dexpanthenol is able to go deep inside the epidermis, transforming it into calcium pantothenate. The element stabilizes the water characteristics of the skin, increasing its elasticity and elasticity.
