Becaplermin is well tolerated. In studies, about 2% of patients using becaplermin or a placebo gel alone developed a rash as compared to no rashes with good ulcer care alone. Thus, the rash probably is due to the preservatives (methylparabens, proylparabens, or m-cresol) rather than the rhPDGF-BB in the Regranex® cream.

If a rash occurs, the medical personnel who are supervising the ulcer care should be contacted.
