Data of interest
A study evaluated how the compound made Cassel (madecassic acid with neomycin sulfate and hydrocortisone acetate) on wound healing.
Madecassol is an extract titled Centella Asiatica, and its clinical effects are highlighted by the improvement of wound healing and the prevention and relief of excessive scar formation.
Neomycin sulfate has an antibiotic effect, and hydrocortisone acetate has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
Therefore, the Madecassol compound has a synergistic effect with Madecasol Neomycin Sulfate and Hydrocortisone Acetate.
The experts compared the effect of the Madecassol compound on wound healing in the postoperative days.
This study examined the histological findings and gross findings that were the size of the wound, the epithelialization, and the quality of the granulation tissue.
Therefore, Madecasol showed a lower degree of inflammatory infiltration, shorter inflammatory phases, and less wound contraction.
In conclusion, the Madecassol compound can reduce the wound’s excessive contraction and promote healing.
