Description
Overview of the medicine
Emurea-10-W Cream is a topical preparation containing 10% Urea. It is used to moisturize and soften rough, dry, or scaly skin by helping the skin shed dead cells and attracting moisture.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply to affected areas of skin once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required for elderly patients.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required for renal impairment, as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected skin and rub in gently until absorbed. Wash hands before and after application.
Mechanism of Action
Urea is a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. It also has keratolytic properties, which help to loosen and shed dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. At 10% concentration, it primarily acts as a moisturizer and mild keratolytic.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Moisturizing effect within minutes; keratolytic effect within days to weeks of regular use.
Excretion
Primarily renal if systemically absorbed; mostly remains on the skin surface.
Half life
Not well-defined for topical application due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin. Absorption may increase with impaired skin barrier.
Metabolism
Minimal metabolism in the skin. Absorbed urea is metabolized in the liver.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Urea or any component of the cream
- •On acutely inflamed, broken, or oozing skin
Drug Interactions
Other topical preparations
Concurrent use with other topical medications should be done with caution, especially those containing acids, as it may enhance their absorption or cause irritation.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose from topical application is unlikely due to minimal systemic absorption. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Topical Urea is generally considered safe during pregnancy and lactation. However, consult your doctor before use.
