Allantoin

Generic Medicine
Indications

Allantoin gel is used for the management of different types of scars, including:

  • Hypertrophic and keloid scars
  • Scars following surgical procedures
  • Scars caused by burns, trauma, or amputation
  • Scars resulting from tendon contracture due to injury
Pharmacology

Allantoin promotes cell growth and supports the formation of healthy skin tissue. It aids in scar treatment by enhancing epithelial regeneration and maintaining skin elasticity. It may also include extract of Allium cepa (onion extract), which helps reduce inflammation and allergic reactions by inhibiting inflammatory mediators. This extract also suppresses fibroblast proliferation, especially in keloid scars, and provides antibacterial effects. Together, these actions support wound healing and help prevent abnormal scar formation.

Dosage Administration

Allantoin gel should be applied once daily for at least 8 weeks on the new scars and for 3–6 months on existing scars. Continue with a circular motion until the gel is completely absorbed. Treatment may take several weeks or months depending on size of existing scars and contracture.

It should be used as soon as wound has closed. Don't use Allantoin gel on stitches – wait until any stitches have been removed.

Use in Children: Allantoin gel is safe and tolerable from 6 months of age.
