Contractubex Gel 50g is the world's leading clinically proven scar treatment gel, formulated by Merz Pharmaceuticals with a powerful triple-action formula of onion extract, heparin, and allantoin. This OTC topical gel helps reduce the appearance of scars from surgery, burns, acne, and injuries while softening scar tissue, relieving itching, and preventing excessive scarring - available without a prescription at MedX Pharmacy in the UAE.
How Contractubex Gel Works
Contractubex Gel combines three active ingredients that work together to target scar tissue from multiple angles. The triple-action formula inhibits excessive scar growth, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthy cell regeneration. Clinical studies confirm that early and consistent application can significantly improve the appearance of both new and old scars over a treatment period of three to six months.
