Scanil 20Gm Cream belongs to the group of medications called 'dermatological agents' primarily indicated for managing scars from surgery, burns, stretch marks, acne, and breast amputations. The scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the site where the skin has healed.

Scanil 20Gm Cream is a combination medication containing Extractum Cepae Cepalin, Heparin and Allantoin. Extractum Cepae Cepalin is an anti-scar medicine that works by inhibiting the activity of a chemical (PGF beta-1) that is involved in the inflammation (swelling) and hypertrophic scarring process after injury. Heparin has anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in the retention of moisture in the scar tissue. Allantoin is a keratolytic agent that removes dead skin cells. It also has the effect of quickening wound healing and softening the skin. As a result, Scanil 20Gm Cream effectively promotes healing and elasticity to hasten the fading process.

Scanil 20Gm Cream should only be used externally. Use this medication for the recommended amount of time to get the best results. Itching, redness, and tingling sensations are common side effects of Scanil 20Gm Cream. These side effects do not require medical attention and will fade with time. If these side effects persist for more than a week, you should seek medical attention.
