About Thromboscar Gel

Thromboscar Gel 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.

Thromboscar Gel 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, Thromboscar Gel effectively promotes healing and elasticity to hasten the fading process.

Thromboscar Gel 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 Thromboscar Gel. 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.

If you are allergic to any of the contents of Thromboscar Gel, you should avoid using it. Open wounds, unhealed wounds, and mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genital areas) should not be treated with a Thromboscar Gel. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Thromboscar Gel with caution. Thromboscar Gel should not be used in children under the age of one year. Do not use any other topical creams with Thromboscar Gel without your doctor's notice.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Scars: A scar is a brown or pale pink patch of skin that marks the area where the skin has healed. Scars can form as a result of burns, wounds, scrapes, acne, amputations, or surgery. Scars are classed as keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, or contractures. Keloid scars are circular, thick, and irregular scars that form outside the boundaries of a wound. Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars in appearance; however, they form within the wound's borders. Contractures are scars that emerge when a larger skin region is wounded and destroyed, such as after surgery.

FAQs

Thromboscar Gel belongs to the group of medications called 'dermatological agents' primarily indicated for managing scars from surgery, burns, stretch marks, acne, and breast amputations.
Thromboscar Gel contains Extractum Cepae Cepalin, Heparin and Allantoin. Extractum Cepae-Cepalin works by inhibiting the activity of a chemical (PGF beta-1) that is involved in the inflammation and hypertrophic scarring process after injury. Heparin loosens the skin structure and aids in the retention of moisture in the scar tissue. On the other hand, Allantoin removes dead skin cells and also promotes the quickening of wound healing and softening of the skin. As a result, Thromboscar Gel effectively promotes healing and elasticity to accelerate the fading process.
Scar treatment can take several weeks or months. The length of treatment with Thromboscar Gel is determined by the extent or size of the scar. Please consult with your doctor about the duration of your treatment.
Thromboscar Gel should not be used on unhealed wounds or open wounds. Also, avoid using Thromboscar Gel on mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth, and genital areas).
Consult your doctor before using any other skin creams. If your doctor recommends any other skin creams or ointments in addition to Thromboscar Gel, you should wait at least 30 minutes before applying other creams.
In case of old, hard scars, Thromboscar Gel can be applied overnight and covered with a bandage if advised by the doctor. However, unless otherwise directed by the doctor, do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing.
Thromboscar Gel may cause skin itching at the site of application. If the itching remains or worsens, please see a doctor.
