About Epithelial AH Lotion

Epithelial AH Lotion is used to treat acute and chronic wounds. Wounds may result from burns, ulcers, pressure sores, radiation dermatitis, or surgery. In such cases, inadequate wound hydration and tissue damage can delay healing, increase the risk of infection, and cause scar formation.

Epithelial AH Lotion contains Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with strong water-binding properties. It helps restore and maintain wound hydration, promotes autolytic debridement, and accelerates tissue repair. By preventing tissue dehydration and cell death, Epithelial AH Lotion supports wound closure, decreases scar formation, and provides a cushioning effect to the wound site.

Epithelial AH Lotion is for external use only. You should use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Epithelial AH Lotion are mild application site reactions such as irritation, redness, or itching. These side effects are usually temporary. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.

Do not use Epithelial AH Lotion if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid or any of its ingredients. Before using Epithelial AH Lotion, inform your doctor about your medical history and any medicines you are taking, especially if you have an infected wound, a heavily exuding ulcer, or any skin condition requiring special care. Also, consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
