  • Clinical Pharmacology

    Urea 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 mechanism of action of topically applied urea is not yet known.

  • Indications and Usage

    For debridement and promotion of normal healing of hyperkeratotic surface lesions, particularly where healing is retarded by local infection, necrotic tissue, fibrinous or purulent debris or eshar. Urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dry, rough skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis pilaris, keratosis palmaris, keratoderma, corns and calluses, as well as damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.

  • Contraindications

    Known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients.

  • Warnings

    For topical use only.  Avoid contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes.

  • Precautions

    This medication is to be used as directed by a physician and should not be used to treat any condition other than that for which it was prescribed.  If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician.

  • PREGNANACY

    Pregnancy Category B.  Animal reproduction studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, however, there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.  Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, Urea 40% should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
