Description
Overview of the medicine
Emurea is a topical preparation containing urea, primarily used for moisturizing and softening dry, rough, or scaly skin conditions.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to the affected skin areas 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.

How to Take
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry, affected skin and rub in gently. Wash hands after application.
Mechanism of Action
Urea acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. At higher concentrations, it has keratolytic properties, breaking down excess keratin in the skin.
Pharmacokinetics

Hydrating effects can be observed within hours; keratolytic effects may take days to weeks.
Excretion
Primarily via kidneys if absorbed systemically, but absorption is negligible.
Half life
Not applicable for topical use with minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption after topical application.
Metabolism
Minor metabolism in the skin; primarily excreted unchanged if absorbed systemically.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to urea or any component of the formulation.
- •Acute inflammation or broken skin (especially with higher concentrations).
- •Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Drug Interactions
Topical corticosteroids
Urea may enhance the penetration of other topical agents, including corticosteroids.
Other topical keratolytics
Concurrent use with other strong keratolytics (e.g., salicylic acid) may increase irritation.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose with topical urea is unlikely. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and lactation, but consult a healthcare professional before use.
