Depantol® is a combined preparation for topical application, providing regenerative, antiseptic, metabolic action. Chlorhexidine, which is part of the drug, is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: Treponema pallidum, Chlamidia spp., Ureaplasma spp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.; yeasts, dermatophytes, protozoa (Trichomonas vaginalis). Some strains are slightly sensitive to the drug Pseudomonas spp., Proteus spp., as well as resistant to acid-fast forms of bacteria, bacterial spores. Dexpanthenol, which is part of the drug, stimulates the regeneration of mucous membranes, normalizes cellular metabolism, accelerates mitosis and increases the strength of collagen fibers.
Depantol® does not interfere with the functional activity of lactobacilli. It retains activity (albeit somewhat reduced) in the presence of blood, pus.
