Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is an essential ingredient in dermatological preparations due to its ability to penetrate the skin and provide moisturizing and healing benefits. Our Panthenol 3% Topical Cream is a specially formulated semisolid preparation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism. This delivery system ensures a convenient, hygienic, and controlled application, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of the active ingredient and ensuring consistent dosing for each use.

The Panthenol 3% Topical Cream works by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, which helps to maintain skin elasticity and softness. Its moisturizing properties are beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions, including minor skin irritations, diaper rash, and mild burns. Panthenol is also known for its role in improving skin barrier function, which can be particularly helpful in managing conditions like eczema or contact dermatitis where the skin barrier is compromised. Additionally, panthenol's ability to promote the regeneration of skin cells makes it an excellent choice for aiding in the healing of wounds and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

For patients, it is important to note that Panthenol 3% Topical Cream should be applied to clean, dry skin. The cream can be used on affected areas several times a day as needed, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients should be advised to report any signs of adverse reactions, such as skin irritation or allergic reactions, to their healthcare provider immediately. For prescribers, it is essential to consider the patient's overall skin condition and any concurrent skin treatments when recommending this formulation. Panthenol is generally well-tolerated, but as with any topical preparation, there is a potential for sensitivity or allergic reaction in some individuals.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a common ingredient in skin care products due to its moisturizing, healing, and regenerative properties. When applied topically, panthenol is absorbed into the skin and converted into pantothenic acid, which is an essential nutrient for skin health. It is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including minor wounds, burns, and skin irritations, by promoting the regeneration of skin cells and improving skin barrier function.

As a compounding pharmacy, we have formulated a Panthenol 3% Topical Cream to provide a convenient and controlled application through a pump mechanism. This allows for localized treatment and ensures that the correct dose is applied to the affected area. The semisolid preparation is designed to be easily absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Regarding drug interactions, topical panthenol is generally considered safe with a low potential for systemic side effects or interactions. However, it is important to consider the overall condition of the skin and the presence of any other topical products being used. Panthenol should be used with caution in combination with other topical medications to avoid potential over-hydration or occlusion of the skin, which could affect the absorption of other topical agents. If you are using other topical treatments, it is advisable to apply them at different times of the day to ensure that each product can be absorbed properly and to minimize the risk of interaction.

Patients with known allergies to panthenol or any of the other ingredients in the formulation should not use this product. Although systemic absorption is minimal, patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with their healthcare provider before using this product. Additionally, while panthenol is not known to interact with oral medications, it is always a good practice to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications and supplements you are taking, including over-the-counter products.

For prescribers, it is important to consider the patient's overall medication regimen and any potential interactions with other prescribed topical agents. When prescribing Panthenol 3% Topical Cream, ensure that the patient is not receiving similar compounds or other skin treatments that could lead to excessive skin moisture or interfere with the product's efficacy. It is also essential to review the patient's medical history for any skin sensitivities or allergies to avoid adverse reactions.

If you have any questions or require further information about the Panthenol 3% Topical Cream, or if you need advice on potential drug interactions with other medications or products, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the support and information you need to ensure the safe and effective use of this formulation.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is thus a provitamin that is readily absorbed by the skin and converted into pantothenic acid. This conversion is essential as pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A, which plays a key role in the repair and regeneration of skin. When applied topically as a 3% Panthenol Topical Cream, it acts as a humectant, emollient, and moisturizer, attracting and holding moisture in the skin. This helps to maintain skin elasticity and softness, and promotes the healing of minor skin irritations and abrasions.

The formulation is designed as a semisolid preparation, which allows for a smooth and even application over the affected area. The cream base enhances the penetration of panthenol into the skin, ensuring that the active ingredient is delivered effectively to the site where it is needed. The inclusion of panthenol at a 3% concentration is optimal for providing the skin with sufficient provitamin B5 to exert its therapeutic effects without causing irritation.

The pump mechanism of the container is specifically chosen for this formulation to ensure that the cream is dispensed in a hygienic manner, minimizing the risk of contamination. It also allows for precise dosing, as each pump delivers a consistent amount of product. This is particularly beneficial for patients who require a measured application over a course of treatment. The pump is also user-friendly, making it easier for patients with limited dexterity to apply the cream.

Panthenol 3% Topical Cream is beneficial in treating a variety of skin conditions. It is particularly effective in the management of mild to moderate skin irritations, such as sunburn, diaper rash, and mild burns. It also aids in the treatment of dry or flaky skin by providing hydration and promoting the retention of moisture. Additionally, panthenol can improve skin barrier function and enhance the healing process of minor wounds and cuts by stimulating epithelialization. This makes it a valuable adjunct in the treatment of skin conditions where the barrier function is compromised, such as in eczema or after dermatological procedures.

For patients and prescribers considering the use of Panthenol 3% Topical Cream, it is important to note that while it is generally well-tolerated, as with any topical preparation, there is a potential for allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. It is recommended to conduct a patch test prior to widespread use. If you have any questions or require further information about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to ensure the safe and effective use of Panthenol 3% Topical Cream.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

The Panthenol 3% Topical Cream you have inquired about is a versatile formulation that has many applications beyond its primary indications. While commonly known for its benefits in skin healing and repair, panthenol, also known as Vitamin B5, is advantageous in several other dermatological conditions. For instance, its emollient properties make it beneficial in the management of mild skin irritations and itchy skin resulting from conditions such as eczema or insect bites by providing a soothing and hydrating effect. Panthenol is also used in the cosmetic industry as a moisturizing agent due to its ability to attract and retain moisture, which can help improve skin elasticity and softness.

Moreover, panthenol's role in stimulating epithelialization and granulation makes it a supportive agent in post-procedural skin care, particularly after minor dermatological procedures like laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels. It can aid in the recovery process and assist in the maintenance of healthy skin following these treatments. Additionally, due to its anti-inflammatory effects, it may alleviate redness and inflammation associated with various dermatoses. Its use as an adjunct in the treatment of superficial wounds, minor burns, and sunburns is also notable, as it can expedite the healing process and provide a protective barrier to the skin.

It should be noted that while Panthenol 3% Topical Cream has these potential uses, it is also important for patients and prescribers to consider individual patient needs, existing skin conditions, and sensitivities. Like any medication or topical agent, it may not be suitable for everyone, and it's efficacy in these alternative uses may vary from person to person. For specific concerns or to explore the potential benefits of Panthenol 3% Topical Cream for other uses, you are encouraged to reach out to us for professional advice tailored to individual circumstances.
