Reviews

Elena, 44 years old
I first learned about the cream from my military brother about 10 years ago. He talked about the miracles of wound healing in combat conditions. We also talked about how this product would not reach civilians for a long time. How surprised I was when I saw a familiar package in the pharmacy. Now I have this product at home and in the country. I use it for cuts and scratches - everything heals instantly.

Sofia, 37 years old
For me, the beginning of summer is just a disaster. I become covered in spots and swell - a reaction to the flowering of plants. I heard a good review from a colleague about an amazing cream - it really helps her out in such situations. It turned out that Eplan is also inexpensive. I started using it and was amazed at how quickly the symptoms went away. This product has a place of honor in my first aid kit.

I got acne and tried a bunch of medications, but no results. It’s inconvenient to go to college with such a face, let alone to clubs. The dermatologist advised me to buy Eplan liquid product. It's cool - the medicine looks like a felt-tip pen, it's cheap. According to the instructions, it should be applied drop by drop to acne. I thought I didn’t have enough patience - I applied it for 2 months. The result is great!

In veterinary medicine

Pets

During the study, a comparative assessment of the use of Eplan cream and syntomycin emulsion traditionally used in surgical practice was carried out. For this purpose, dogs of 3-7 years of age with various types of wounds were selected: cut, bruised-lacerated, bitten-lacerated. These drugs were applied to the site of tissue damage after preliminary mechanical antisepsis with an interval of 48 hours until recovery. It was found that Eplan cream significantly reduces the manifestations of the inflammatory reaction, promotes rapid and complete cleansing of the wound from necrotic tissue, prevents secondary microbial contamination, thereby reducing the duration of the first phase of the wound process. The use of Eplan cream helps to normalize microcirculation in damaged tissues, increase tissue resistance to microflora, accelerates the filling of the defect with full-blooded granulations and the formation of the marginal epidermal layer, which ensures wound healing in optimal terms (2-3 days faster than when using synthomycin emulsion) .
The tests were carried out to study the effectiveness of the wound-healing effect, determine the healing time of wounds, abscesses, phlegmons and otitis media, as well as side effects when using Eplan. For animals with diagnosed diseases, the drug was prescribed for wounds and ulcers of various etiologies, as well as on the surface of abscessed tumors - under a bandage, in the ear canal for otitis of various etiologies - in the form of instillations, in purulent cavities - in the form of drainages.

Conclusions:

The preparations "Eplan", cream and "Eplan", solution were used for the local treatment of purulent-necrotic wounds, ulcers of various origins, eczema and dermatitis, thermal and chemical burns in the 1st phase of the wound process. During therapy with Eplan, there was a rapid decrease in tissue swelling (on days 2-5), rejection of necrotic tissue and an early (on days 5-7) appearance of granulations. A positive effect was obtained when caring for non-operated superficially located tumors in the form of reduced exudation and a decrease in unpleasant odors due to control of the development of secondary putrefactive microflora.
"Eplan" solution gives a good clinical effect in the treatment of simple forms of otitis (acute catarrhal) in the form of reducing swelling and exudation in the auditory canal. Complicated otitis (obstruction of the auditory canal, otophyma, yeast otitis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) require both systemic treatment and the use of specific drugs.
Eplan preparations have an analgesic effect, which is manifested in a decrease in the attractiveness for licking and scratching of animals treated with drugs on damaged surfaces.
Eplan preparations did not cause any adverse reactions in any of the cases of their use.
Dressings with Eplan preparations do not stick to the wound, thereby making the dressing process less painful and traumatic for the animal.

Farm animals

Damage to the skin of the udder nipples (cracks, abrasions, scratches, wounds) in cows is the cause of mastitis, disturbances in trophic processes, pain reactions, inhibition of the milk excretion function, etc.

Traumatic injuries to the skin of the udder teats of 12 cows were treated with Eplan cream to study the therapeutic effect of the drug. Cows in the control group were treated with boron ointment.

In 58% of animals, wound healing occurred on the seventh day, in 25% on the eighth day, and in 17% on the ninth day of treatment.

The results obtained indicate the high therapeutic effectiveness of the drug. Cream "Eplan" reduces the manifestation of inflammatory reactions and shortens the duration of the inflammatory process, leads to an intensive reduction in the area of wounds, and shortens the healing time. Clinical symptoms of mastitis did not appear. A positive result was also obtained with postpartum edema of the udder: the normal physiological state of the mammary gland was restored in a short time, which in turn is the prevention of mastitis.

Contraindications

The drug has a very high safety profile for the body even with long-term use, and therefore is gaining wide popularity. The only contraindication noted in the instructions is individual hypersensitivity to the substances that make up Eplan. No other restrictions noted.

Is it possible for children during pregnancy?

The issue of drug safety in children and pregnant women deserves special attention. Eplan can be safely used at any age, so there are no specific restrictions for a child (including the neonatal period). According to studies, the drug does not cause negative reactions on the part of the fetus and mother, therefore, it is not prohibited during pregnancy.

When applied locally, an extremely small amount of the active compound enters the systemic bloodstream, so the question of using Eplan during breastfeeding can also be answered in the affirmative. But for each specific case, the decision must be made by the doctor, taking into account the balance of probable risk and expected benefit.

Among the protective agents used in dermatology, Eplan especially stands out. Created by domestic scientists, the drug shows only its best side: it has broad therapeutic and preventive potential, a high degree of safety and versatility. It can become an indispensable assistant in the treatment of skin diseases and in everyday life.

Analogues and cost

You can purchase this medicine at any pharmacy in the Russian Federation. The average price of this medication varies from forty to two hundred and fifty rubles, depending on the form of release.

Since this drug does not have direct analogues, it is possible to single out only those drugs that have a similar therapeutic effect. When considering analogs that are cheaper than Eplan, it is necessary to highlight medications such as Rozeks, Aldara, Oflocain. However, each of these drugs has its own individual characteristics, including scope of application, contraindications and side effects.

Indications for use: what helps

In the annotation for Eplan ointment, indications for use include the following indicators:

burn disease caused by chemical, thermal factors, and sun rays;
cold illness or frostbite, abscesses, hemorrhoids;
various violations of the integrity of the skin - trauma, cuts, scratches, bruises, cracks, abrasions;

wounds of any origin;
insect bites;
bedsores;
psoriasis;
skin cracks;
calluses;

pharmachologic effect

Pharmacokinetics

Coping well with negative effects on the skin and the consequences of such exposure, Eplan eliminates degenerative reactions of the skin when bedsores occur on it, stimulates the rapid healing of cracks, household cuts and abrasions. Even large-area lesions and mechanical damage are quickly cured with treatment with Eplan: the pronounced stimulation of positive dynamics allows us to call this remedy one of the most popular and effective in use.

Penetration of the active substance into the upper layer of the epidermis within a few minutes after applying the drug to the affected areas of the skin allows you to begin an early effect on the skin, increasing the speed of regenerative processes, preventing the worsening of inflammatory processes in the skin. Even when the skin is exposed to toxic substances, the formation of mechanical damage of various types on its surface, with varying degrees of development and aggravation of the pathological process, the use of the drug in question allows one to obtain a pronounced positive effect.

Pharmacodynamics

The rapid absorption of the active substance of the drug by the skin is due to its balanced formula. Having a small number of restrictions in use, Eplan has proven itself in the treatment of patients with hypersensitive skin and a tendency to allergic manifestations.

The thoughtfulness of the composition is also expressed in the absence of the drug’s tendency to accumulate its breakdown products in the body: the residual components of the drug are broken down by liver cells, and they are excreted by the kidneys with urine.

Properties of the drug

Eplan is a universal dermatological product with a wide range of positive qualities. Its therapeutic effects are presented as follows:

Antimicrobial.
Anti-inflammatory.
Wound healing.
Painkiller.
Decongestant.
Protective.

Glycolan forms a thin film on the surface of the skin, which normalizes the water-lipid balance and protects affected areas with healthy skin from negative factors. The drug is able to enhance the phagocytic activity of leukocytes and maintain a neutral pH, helping to eliminate pathogenic microbes and prevent secondary infection of the skin.

The organic lanthanum complex has dehydrating properties, helping to drain exudate from the wound, reducing swelling and infiltration. At the same time, it protects the burn surface from loss of excess fluid. Thanks to Eplan, necrotic masses are better removed, and toxic products are not absorbed into the bloodstream.

An important property of the medication is the enhancement of regeneration, which occurs due to the activation of cellular processes, cleansing the wound and narrowing its edges. Granulations formed during the healing phase are protected from secondary infection. With Eplan, the healing time of various injuries is noticeably reduced, and the formation of keloid scars is prevented.

By creating a thin layer on the surface of the epithelium, the drug softens it and reduces irritation of nerve receptors. This leads to the elimination of pain, itching and burning that accompany many pathological processes on the skin. And by preventing local thrombus formation, the formation of bruises due to bruises is prevented.

The history of the creation of eplan is interesting - it was developed by military doctors as an antiseptic and regenerant, to disinfect the skin, relieve inflammation, reduce pain and itching. The drug very soon achieved great demand in peaceful life, as it has a gentle effect on the skin. At the same time, it heals wounds and helps get rid of acne problems.

"Eplan" is an affordable remedy for acne, and quite popular among the population. "Eplan" is sold in the form of an ointment or cream. The advantage of this tool is that it is universal and suits almost everyone without exception. This product contains: triethylene glycol, glycolan, ethylcarbitol, water, glycerin and other excipients.

“Eplan” is a fairly effective remedy; it has no age limits for use, since it does not contain painkillers, hormonal agents, or antibiotics. It is widely used in cosmetology.

To achieve maximum effect, you need to use the drug wisely, and not “smear it” haphazardly. Apply the cream in a thin layer, rub in lightly (it stings a little). A light film appears on the skin, which simultaneously heals and protects the skin. Treatment should be carried out twice a day. In case of acne, do not apply cream under makeup.
