Dong-A Pharm D-Panthenol Ointment 50g
Dong-A Pharmaceutical's D-Panthenol Ointment is an over-the-counter (OTC) topical ointment with Dexpanthenol (USP) as its active ingredient, at 50 mg per gram. The product is an opaque, whitish ointment with a characteristic lanolin odor. It supports the natural process of skin regeneration, soothes irritation, and has regenerative properties for a wide range of skin ailments.
Key Benefits
• Skin regeneration and repair: Dexpanthenol is a stable alcohol analogue of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5). Once absorbed by the skin, it rapidly converts to pantothenic acid, which plays a key role in cell repair and tissue regeneration.
• Soothing and calming action: Effectively reduces irritation, redness, and discomfort associated with minor wounds, burns, and inflammatory skin conditions.
• Moisturizing: Forms a protective barrier that helps retain moisture in the skin—keeping damaged or dry skin hydrated during the healing process.
• Broad clinical application: Used as an adjunctive treatment for various skin problems.

D-Panthenol Ointment is indicated as an adjunctive treatment for:
• Cuts and lacerations
• Burns and sunburns (solar dermatitis)
• Cracks and fissures of the nipples during breastfeeding

Why Dexpanthenol?
Dexpanthenol is a provitamin of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), widely used in dermatology due to its proven effects:
• Stimulates skin cell proliferation and differentiation
• Accelerates wound healing and epithelialization
• Maintains and restores skin barrier function
• Provides long-lasting hydration for damaged or irritated skin
Due to its mild safety profile and good tolerability, it is suitable for use on sensitive areas of the body—including cracked nipples during breastfeeding—and across all age groups, including infants (diaper rash).
