Product Name:
Mebo Ointment for Burns and Injuries - 30g
Scientific Name:
Beta-Sitosterol
Product Category:
Burns and Wound Healing Preparations
Mechanism of Action of Beta-Sitosterol:
Beta-sitosterol is one of the many phytosterols (plant sterols). The concept of this treatment is to expose the wound to a moist physiological environment to enhance the natural healing process. This facilitates the migration of keratinocytes, angiogenesis, and interaction with growth factors to support wound healing.
Therapeutic Indications for Mebo:
- First-degree burns: Burns that affect only the upper layer of the skin and are typically mild, healing quickly (such as sunburns).
- Second-degree burns: Superficial and deep burns that may not require skin grafting if treated properly with this ointment.
- Third-degree burns: Burns that affect the deeper layers of the skin, sometimes reaching tendons, bones, and muscles. Mebo helps reduce painful areas and prepares them for debridement and non-surgical grafting.
- Pain in donor areas: Mebo helps reduce pain in the area from which skin is taken for grafting.
- Surgical wounds: Includes wounds from childbirth and related surgical procedures.
Directions for Use:
- Standard dosage: Apply a thin layer of the product to the affected area 3 to 4 times a day if the area is not covered, and twice a day if covered.
- Dosages may be adjusted based on specific conditions, so always follow the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist.

- Overdose: In case of overdose, contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
