royal jelly + panthenol

Royal jelly + panthenol (marketed under the brand name Pedyphar) is a topical combination therapy developed by European Egyptian Pharmaceutical Industries for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Royal jelly is a complex biological substance secreted by honey bees that contains bioactive proteins (Major Royal Jelly Proteins) and fatty acids (such as 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid) which exhibit antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. These components stimulate fibroblast migration and collagen synthesis, essential for wound closure. Panthenol, a provitamin of B5, acts as a humectant and is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, a precursor of coenzyme A. This metabolic pathway supports epithelialization and the maintenance of the skin barrier. The combination is formulated as an ointment to provide a protective environment that accelerates the healing of chronic diabetic wounds.
