Hormonal ointment for allergies

Modern ointments for allergies, containing corticosteroid hormones, almost do not penetrate the body and are safe for the adrenal glands. The composition of this drug allows you to quickly relieve unpleasant itching, swelling and block further production of antibodies.

Due to the fact that the ointment has anti-inflammatory properties, the risk of irritation is reduced, which allows a person to feel much better and sleep peacefully at night.

Important! Since hormonal drugs have a large list of side effects, the course of treatment for an adult should not exceed 12 weeks, and children's treatment should last no more than 4 weeks.

Also remember that it is forbidden to apply such ointments on your face on your own, and even with a doctor’s permission - with great caution.

pharmachologic effect

the drug is dexpanthenol - provitamin B5 . It is freely adsorbed by human skin cells. After the substance enters the epithelial cells, dexpanthenol is transformed, as a result of which it turns into pantothenic acid.

Bepanten's effect on the body is determined by vitamin B5 . Pantothenic acid is part of coenzyme A. It promotes the processes of regeneration of the skin of the mucous membranes, takes part in acetylation and the synthesis of acetylcholine. Under the influence of pantothenic acid, cell metabolism returns to normal, mitosis is activated, and collagen fibers are strengthened. The drug has a moisturizing, regenerating, and also some anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Therefore, the use of ointment or other forms of medication is possible on any area of ​​the skin. It is used to treat exposed areas, weeping wounds, and areas of the skin that are covered with hair.

Zinc ointment for allergies

Thanks to this ointment, a protective layer appears on the skin, which prevents damage to the skin from spreading, promotes their speedy healing, and relieves redness and itching.

to the appearance of acne; to slow healing of wounds and cuts; to subcutaneous hemorrhages; to accelerated or delayed hair growth on the treated area of ​​skin; to skin atrophy.

Although they do not give such a quick result, at the very beginning of the disease, doctors prescribe ointments without hormones in their composition, as they enable the body to adapt and prepare for more serious treatment.

As for the price, the cost of hormonal drugs ranges from approximately 250 to 360 rubles, and non-hormonal drugs - from 165 to 930 rubles.

Contraindications

Preparations based on pantothenic acid have several negative properties. They should be taken into account when carrying out cosmetic procedures in order to avoid unforeseen consequences for skin health.

  1. With constant use, the dermis begins to peel off because the process of cell renewal occurs too quickly.
  2. It is not recommended to be overzealous with the frequency of applying the cream because an oversaturation with vitamin B is just as dangerous as its deficiency.
  3. In some cases, individual intolerance to the components of Panthenol is possible, which leads to allergic reactions.
  4. It is forbidden to use such anti-wrinkle products if you have increased sensitivity to light.
