About Eugraf 150Mcg Gel

Eugraf 150Mcg Gel belongs to the group of growth factors used in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, bedsores, chronic leg ulcers, and vascular ulcers. A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound in diabetic patients that occurs due to uncontrolled diabetes. It appears as a red crater on the skin. It mostly affects the bottom or top of the foot and tip of a toe.

Eugraf 150Mcg Gel contains recombinant human epidermal growth factor which is a protein that stimulates cell growth. It acts by releasing a growth factor that can promote tissue repair, skin regeneration (formation of healthy skin), and accelerate wound healing. These effects help to reduce skin ulcers in diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Eugraf 150Mcg Gel is meant for external use. Eugraf 150Mcg Gel should be applied as a thin layer with a sterile cotton swab. In some cases, Eugraf 150Mcg Gel may cause certain common side effects such as headache, nausea, rash, stomach pain, and pruritis. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist. 

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Eugraf 150Mcg Gel. Avoid Eugraf 150Mcg Gel if you are immune-compromised, pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you are on treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants or immunostimulators. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications. Discuss your entire vaccination history with your doctor.

Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound seen on the foot of patients suffering from high and uncontrolled blood sugar. It is a painful condition and makes it difficult for them to rest their feet. It is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. It occurs when the diabetes level becomes uncontrollable due to inadequate treatment. In this condition, the skin tissues break down and expose the skin layer's inner parts, which appear as a red crater in the skin. There is also damage to the nerves and decreased blood supply to the damaged foot, which further delays wound healing.
