About REGRANEX Gel


REGRANEX Gel is the only FDA-approved prescription medicine that contains platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a powerful natural substance that helps your body heal. REGRANEX Gel, in conjunction with good wound care, has been proven to help heal diabetic foot ulcers more effectively than standard wound care. Some wounds take a long time to heal. REGRANEX Gel can help this problem in many patients by delivering the growth factor directly to the ulcer in a simple-to-use gel.

You may have heard of, or even tried, other treatments for diabetic foot ulcers. Most of these treatments help keep the wound clean and moist. REGRANEX Gel is different because it is the only FDA-approved prescription medication that contains a growth factor that helps your body heal.

For REGRANEX Gel to be effective, good wound care must be followed. Good wound care includes:


Your doctor or healthcare professional removing dead skin/debris from the wound whenever necessary

Keeping weight off your feet, perhaps by wearing special orthopedic shoes or by other methods

Your doctor or healthcare professional treating any infection of the wound

Continuing to visit your doctor or healthcare professional and following your treatment plan
