Contractubex Gel 20g

Description

Contractubex gel is used for the treatment of various types of scars after the wounds have healed. Contractubex gel
inhibits the growth of scar tissue and softens scar tissue. The gel also reduces redness, swelling and pain (anti-inflammatory). Contractubex cream is suitable for use in patients with movement-inhibiting, hypertrophic, keloid (thickscars higher than the skin surface and sometimes with a different colour than the surrounding skin) and cosmetically disfiguring scars resulting from an operation, amputation, burn or accident. Suitable incase of contractures, such as Dupuytren’s contracture (persistently bent fingers) and traumatic tendon contractures, as well as atrophic scars (scars lower or higher than the skin surface).

How to use

Always use Contractubex gel exactly as described in this leaflet. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Apply Contractubex gel onto the skin several times per day and gently massage into the scar tissue until the gel is completely absorbed. In case of old hard scars, Contractubex cream can also be applied overnight and covered with a bandage. The treatment can last for several weeks or months, depending on the size of the scar or contracture. In case of fresh wounds, avoid physical irritants, such as extreme cold, UV radiation, or intense massage. Use in children: When used in children aged 1 or older, it is recommended to apply the gel on scar tissue once or twice per day. Using this medicine in children under 1 year of age is not recommended due to insufficient data. If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
