<p>This invention pertains to a method for controlling wound scar production by administering a calcium antagonist, alone or in a combination with or followed by a steroid, to the wound site. The method can be used to minimize wound scars, such as hypertrophic wound healing disorders, keloids and burn scar contractures in humans or other mammals, particularly those individually prone to excessive scarring. Calcium antagonist treatment can also be used to control diseases associated with excessive scarring, such as cirrhosis of the liver, constructive pericarditis, Dupuytren's disease of the hand, plantar fibrosis of the foot, and various other fibromatoses.</p> |
