WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Antiseptic healing treatment of wounds with an infection risk such as
slight skin irritations, wounds,
cuts, mild burns and skin inflammation.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Dexpanthenol - provitamin B5
Chlorhexidine dihydrochloride - antiseptic
Bepanthen

Plus contains chlorhexidine which fights the bacteria on the skin or
which get into the
wound with dirt, and by doing so prevents or moderates bacterial
infection in wounds. The medicine
also contains dexpanthenol, which is converted in the skin into the
vitamin pantothenic acid which

is easy to apply and wash off
and is not greasy or sticky.
