Contractubex Gel

Contractubex Gel is a topical scar treatment made with Extractum Cepae (onion extract), heparin, and allantoin. Each tube contains the ingredients listed on the label in gel form, designed to help improve the look and feel of raised, red, or tight scars after wounds, surgery, burns, or acne. It is a dermatologic scar-management product, not an antibiotic or steroid. Win Medicare’s Contractubex Gel is applied directly to the skin where scarring has formed.

How it works: Onion extract may help reduce excess scar tissue formation and support a smoother scar appearance over time. Heparin and allantoin help soften the skin and may calm irritation, while the gel base lets the medicine stay in contact with the scar after application.

Contractubex Gel is a standard topical gel strength used directly on scars, so it is suitable for people who can apply and gently massage a medicated gel onto intact skin. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this product’s use depends on the doctor’s assessment of the scar and skin condition rather than a choice between multiple dose strengths. A clinician may choose Contractubex Gel when a non-greasy, easy-to-spread scar gel is preferred.

• Raised scars
• Surgical scars
• Burn scars
• Acne scars
• Post-injury scar care
• Old, tight, or thickened scars

• Clean and dry the scar area before applying Contractubex Gel.
• Apply a thin layer of the gel to the scar only, unless your doctor told you otherwise.
• Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is absorbed.
• Use it exactly as often as prescribed; scar gels are usually used regularly over weeks to months.
• Avoid applying the gel to open wounds, broken skin, or near the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose unless directed by a clinician.
• Wash your hands after applying Contractubex Gel.

The labeled dose is the amount in each tube of Contractubex Gel, and the exact amount to use depends on the size of the scar and your doctor’s instructions. It is typically applied a few times daily to the scar area, but the maximum daily use should be set by the prescriber based on your skin response and the extent of scarring.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
