Dexpanthenol is a pro-vitamin of pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5) — a water-soluble vitamin derivative used in medicine. In injectable form, at 250 mg/mL, it’s supplied as a sterile aqueous solution intended for parenteral use (often as a multiple-dose vial (MDV)).
It is a vitamin B5 precursor that the body converts to pantothenic acid.
The typical injectable strength is 250 mg per 1 mL.
Benefits
Gastrointestinal motility support:
Used as a gastrointestinal stimulant especially in conditions like postoperative ileus or adynamic ileus (loss of normal bowel movement after surgery).
Parenteral nutrition & deficiency prevention:
May be included in parenteral nutrition regimens to prevent or treat vitamin B5 deficiency because pantothenic acid is essential for normal metabolism and tissue repair.
Support wound healing:
In some regions, dexpanthenol can support tissue repair and wound healing, though this is more common for topical forms — the injectable is primarily for systemic support under medical direction.
Dexpanthenol is converted within the body to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). Pantothenic acid is vital for coenzyme A synthesis — a key cofactor in metabolic processes and tissue repair pathways.
