Hi-Paradent (0.1/0.5%) 200ml Mouthwash

Dexpanthenol, an active ingredient in Permethol 0.001 Mouth Wash, exerts its therapeutic effects primarily through its conversion to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) in the body. When applied topically or used in the mouth, Dexpanthenol is rapidly absorbed and converted to pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is an essential component of coenzyme A (CoA), which plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, particularly fatty acid synthesis and energy production. By replenishing pantothenic acid levels, Dexpanthenol supports the normal functioning of oral tissues and promotes healing. It enhances the proliferation and differentiation of cells, particularly epithelial cells, which are essential for maintaining the integrity of the oral mucosa. This action helps in the repair and regeneration of oral tissues, making it beneficial for treating and preventing oral mucosal conditions and providing soothing relief.
