Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin
About Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin
Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin is a treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of various types of scars, including those resulting from surgeries, burns, accidental injuries, and acne. It works to soften, flatten, and fade red or raised scar tissue, helping the skin look and feel smoother.
This gel works through a coordinated action to target scar tissue at different stages of recovery. It helps reduce inflammation and inhibits the overproduction of tough collagen fibres, while simultaneously relaxing the rigid structure of scar tissue to improve flexibility.
For the best results, you must apply this gel consistently and regularly over several weeks or months. Apply the gel to clean, dry skin as recommended by your doctor. Maintaining optimal skin hydration and avoiding direct sun exposure on the healing area can also support the overall appearance of your skin.
While this gel is generally gentle, some individuals may experience mild, temporary side effects such as redness, a slight tingling sensation, or mild itching at the application site. If you develop severe burning, swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, stop using the product immediately and consult your doctor. Do not use this product if you have a known hypersensitivity to onion extract, heparin, allantoin, or any other ingredients in the gel.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to apply other prescription creams to the same skin area, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first to prevent potential skin irritation. As this is a topical treatment, it should only be applied to fully healed, closed skin and never on open wounds, raw areas, or active skin infections.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Shield scars from sunlight: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen over the scar or keep it covered with clothing, as UV rays can permanently darken scar tissue and slow the fading process.
- Avoid stretching the skin: Avoid heavy exercise or movements that put tension on the skin near a healing scar, as stretching can cause the scar to become wider or thicker.
- Let scabs heal naturally: Avoid picking at scabs or peeling skin, as this can introduce bacteria and lead to worsening scar tissue.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water daily to maintain skin elasticity and support the body's natural tissue repair mechanisms.
- Perform gentle massages: Once the wound is closed and stitches are removed, gently massaging the scar with the gel can help break down hard collagen fibres.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Scars: A scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the area where the skin has healed. Scars can form as a result of burns, wounds, scrapes, acne, amputations, or surgery. Scars are classed as keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, or contractures. Keloid scars are circular, thick, and irregular scars that form outside the boundaries of a wound. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars in appearance; however, they form within the wound's borders. Contractures are scars that emerge when a larger skin region is wounded and destroyed, such as after surgery.
FAQs
Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin belongs to the group of medications called 'dermatological agents' primarily indicated for managing scars from surgery, burns, stretch marks, acne, and breast amputations.
Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin contains Extractum Cepae Cepalin, Heparin and Allantoin. Extractum Cepae-Cepalin works by inhibiting the activity of a chemical (PGF beta-1) that is involved in the inflammation and hypertrophic scarring process after injury. Heparin loosens the skin structure and aids in the retention of moisture in the scar tissue. On the other hand, Allantoin removes dead skin cells and also promotes the quickening of wound healing and softening of the skin. As a result, Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin effectively promotes healing and elasticity to accelerate the fading process.
Scar treatment can take several weeks or months. The length of treatment with Allantoin+extractum Cepae Cepalin+heparin is determined by the extent or size of the scar. Please consult with your doctor about the duration of your treatment.
