The drug PROTECTA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Zinc oxide
UNII SOI2LOH54Z - ZINC OXIDE
|
|
Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells. |
|
2
Dexpanthenol
UNII 1O6C93RI7Z - DEXPANTHENOL
|
|
Dexpanthenol is converted in tissues to pantothenic acid, a component of coenzyme A (CoA) that is essential to normal epithelial function, increased fibroblast proliferation and accelerated re-epithelialization in wound healing. |
|
3
Vitamin E
UNII 9E8X80D2L0 - .ALPHA.-TOCOPHEROL ACETATE
|
|
Vitamin E is known to exert an important physiological function as an antioxidant for fats, with a sparing action on vitamin A, carotenoids and on unsaturated fatty acids. Other work has demonstrated that vitamin E is connected with the maintenance of certain factors essential for the normal metabolic cycle. |
