Predheal Cream: Active Relief for Skin Inflammation

Composition:

Predheal Cream Each gram contains the potent anti-inflammatory corticosteroid Methylprednisolone Aceponate 0.1% w/w.

Description:

• Predheal is a topical medicine (corticosteroid) specifically designed to combat various skin inflammatory issues. It effectively tames redness (erythema), skin thickening, bumps, fluid buildup (edema), itching, and burning sensations.
• Ideal for conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema in children, contact eczema, and various eczema forms, Predheal provides targeted relief.

Clinical Pharmacology:

• Upon topical application, Predheal exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, and blood vessel-constricting actions. It binds to internal glucocorticoid receptors, triggering lipomodulin production. This protein blocks inflammatory mediators,bringing relief from skin inflammation and itching.

Percutaneous and Systemic Absorption:

• Slightly more Methylprednisolone Aceponate (approximately 2.5%) gets absorbed through open skin compared to normal skin (0.2-1.5%).
• Occlusive dressings can increase absorption. Absorbed Predheal transforms into an inactive form (6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate) and is primarily eliminated through the kidneys.
