What does it do?

Panthenol is a precursor to vitamin B5 and promotes the regeneration of skin and mucous membranes. In eye drops, it is used to aid in the recovery of damaged tissues on the surface of the eye.

When instilled in the eye, panthenol is converted into vitamin B5 within the tissues, promoting cell growth and regeneration. This enables a quicker recovery of damaged areas in the cornea and conjunctiva.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
