Vitapantol is a regenerating and softening nasal ointment, made from multivitamin elements that have a favorable action on the balance and healing of the nasal mucosa.
Indications
Three applications a day, administer a sufficient amount of ointment. Insert the tip into each nostril and gently squeeze the tube. Gently massage the wings of the nose to distribute the ointment.

Description of a class 1 medical device
Association of retinol, nicotinamide and calcium pantothenate
- Vitamin A (retinol acetate): plays an important role in the physiological process of healing and has a favorable trophic action on the nasal mucosa
- Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide or vitamin PP): plays an important role in the cell metabolism and restores the mucosal balance
- Vitamins B5 (calcium pantothenate): contributes favorably to the cellular metabolism and reinforces the favorable action of vitamin A in the healing process of the nasal mucosa
Contraindications
- Specific to Vitapantol regular (with geranium essential oil): Vitapantol regular should not be administered to people susceptible to hay fever because geranium essential oil can be irritating. In this case, use the Vitapantol light.
- Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparations.
- Vitapantol regular and Vitapantol low should not be administered in children less than 3 years of age.
Warnings and precautions
Due to some possible resorption of vitamin A, the risk of hypervitaminosis in case of prolonged treatment – especially in young children – is theoretically possible.
Chronic hypervitaminosis in children results in growth disorders, intracranial hypertension and papillary edema simulating brain tumors.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation: vitamin A passes into breast milk.
Overdose
Acute intoxication can occur following absorption of very high doses of vitamin A (in adults: 1,500,000 IU at once). An intact tube of Vitapantol regular contains 33,000 IU of vitamin A and a tube of Vitapantol low contains 16,500 IU. Acute intoxication, even accidental, is very unlikely.
Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation: vitamin A passes into breast milk.
