UREA DESCRIPTION
Urea 39% cream is a keratolytic emollient, which is a gentle, yet effective, tissue softener for skin.
Each gram contains 39% Urea as the active ingredient, and the following inactive ingredients: dimethyl isosorbide, emulsifying wax, glycerin, isopropyl myristate, purified water, sorbitol, tridecyl stearate and neopentyl glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate and tridecyl trimellitate.
CHEMICAL STRUCTURE
Urea is diamide of Carbonic acid with the following structure:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Urea cream gently dissolves the intracellular matrix which results in loosening of the horny layer of the skin and shedding of scaly skin at regular intervals, thereby softening hyperkeratotic areas of the skin.
PHARMACOKINETICS
The exact mechanism of action of topically applied urea is not known.
UREA INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dry, rough skin, xerosis, ichthyosis, skin cracks and fissures, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, keratoses and calluses.
UREA CONTRAINDICATIONS
Known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients
WARNINGS
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes.
PRECAUTIONS
Urea cream should be used as directed by a physician and should not be used to treat conditions other than those for which it was prescribed. If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Pregnancy: Category C
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Urea cream. It is also not known whether urea cream can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Urea cream should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether urea cream is excreted in human milk, therefore caution should be exercised when administering to a nursing mother.
UREA ADVERSE REACTIONS
Transient stinging, burning, itching or irritation is possible and normally resolves upon discontinuing the medication.
UREA DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Apply to affected skin twice per day, or as directed by your physician. Rub in until completely absorbed.
