How Scanil Gel works

It works by suppressing the activity of a chemical (PGF beta-1) which is involved in inflammation (swelling) and hypertrophic scarring process after injury. Heparin is an anticoagulant. It widens the blood vessels to dissolve blood clots and promote blood flow at the injured site. Allantoin is a skin protectant. It moisturizes the skin and relieves minor irritation.
