Contractubex is a dermatological agent for local use in the treatment of scars.
Contractubex is used to treat rough, overgrown, red, swollen, mobility-limiting and cosmetic scars after surgery, amputations, burns and injuries.
Contractubex has a softening and smoothing effect on hardened, overgrown, painful and cosmetically damaged skin tissue. Heparin facilitates the hydration (water-binding capacity) of hardened tissue, thereby causing swelling and loosening of scars.
When should you not use Contractubex?
Contractubex should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to methyl-parahydroxybenzoate or other ingredients of the product.
Warnings:
- When treating fresh scars, physical irritation such as extreme cold or exposure to ultraviolet light, as well as intense rubbing of the gel, should be avoided.
- Contractubex contains sorbic acid - it has an irritating effect and can cause dermatitis (inflammation of the skin).
Method of use:
If there are no specific instructions from a doctor, Contracttubex is rubbed with a light massage on the skin or scar until the gel is completely penetrated, several times a day (2-3 times). In cases of old and hard scars, after applying the gel, a bandage is made and left to act overnight.
Depending on the size of the scar, the treatment is carried out for several weeks or months (on average up to 6 months, for old and persistent scars up to 1 year).
Unwanted reactions:
Cotractubex is generally very well tolerated, even with longer use. Skin irritation, such as skin inflammation, skin rashes and itching, can be expected in very rare cases.
In the event of side effects not mentioned in the leaflet, inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
