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 |
