{"title":"Regranex","description":"\u003ch1\u003eRegranex\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegranex is a prescription topical gel used to treat diabetic foot ulcers that extend into the subcutaneous tissue or beyond. Its active ingredient, becaplermin, is a recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) that supports the wound-healing process by helping to recruit and stimulate the cells involved in tissue repair. For people living with diabetes, lower-extremity ulcers can be slow to close and carry real risks, so a therapy that works alongside good wound care and offloading is a meaningful part of a treatment plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Regranex Fits Into Diabetic Ulcer Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegranex is applied as a thin layer to the ulcer once daily, typically covered with a saline-moistened dressing, and it is intended to be used together with a comprehensive wound-management program. That program usually includes debridement of nonviable tissue, pressure relief or offloading of the affected foot, infection control, and management of blood glucose. The gel does not replace these steps?it complements them. Because it is a prescription product, treatment should be initiated and monitored by a clinician who can assess wound depth, adequate blood supply, and whether the ulcer is a good candidate for growth-factor therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProper storage matters with this product: Regranex is refrigerated and should not be frozen, and patients are generally advised to wash their hands before and after application and to measure the prescribed amount carefully. Anyone using it should follow their prescriber's directions and review the current labeling, including any boxed warning and their own medical history, with their healthcare provider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Regranex works best as one element of a full wound-care regimen, many patients and caregivers also stock supporting supplies.
