Strut Scar Formula is a compounded medication which combines prescription and non-prescription medications in a pharmaceutical grade scar-targeting gel. Strut Scar Formula may help reduce the pigment, size, and improve the texture of scars, making them less noticeable when used regularly and as prescribed.
A compounded medication is a prescription that is mixed up specifically for you based on your doctor’s request for a specific strength and dosage form. Compounded medications are not manufactured, but made in compounding pharmacies that follow a formula ‘recipe’ customized to your condition to create an individualized medication for you.
Strut Scar Formula is a physician and pharmacist crafted combination of medications which target various aspects of scars blended into a silicone based scar gel. Triamcinolone is a topical steroid which may help reduce, flatten, and soften scars. Levocetirizine may help reduce growth of scar tissue during the healing process and reduce itchiness that may come along with healing scars. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is added as a potent topical antioxidant which is a natural skin brightener that may lighten the pigment of a scar and help it blend in.
Apply a light coating of gel to clean, dry skin scar location, once daily at bedtime, or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Wash hands after application. Follow your doctor's specific orders if you are unsure how to use the medication.
The most common side effects of Strut Scar Formula include skin redness, irritation, burning, itching, peeling, and skin thinning. These effects are generally mild and will clear up over time or upon discontinuation of the medication.
