Description
Overview of the medicine
Emurea-25 W Cream contains 25% Urea, a substance known for its excellent moisturizing and keratolytic properties. It helps to soften and rehydrate rough, dry, and scaly skin conditions.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to affected areas once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment needed; use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment needed for topical application.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply to clean, dry skin. Rub in gently until absorbed. Wash hands before and after application.
Mechanism of Action
Urea acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin. At higher concentrations (like 25%), it also acts as a keratolytic, breaking down keratin in the stratum corneum, which helps to loosen and shed dead skin cells. This reduces scaling and softens rough skin.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Moisturizing effect within minutes; keratolytic effects noticeable after a few days to weeks of regular use.
Excretion
Not applicable for topical, minimal systemic absorption.
Half life
Not applicable for topical, minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin. Absorption may increase with damaged skin.

Side Effects
Contraindications

- •Application on severely broken, inflamed, or bleeding skin
Drug Interactions
Other topical preparations
Concurrent use with other topical medications should be discussed with a doctor, especially if they are irritants.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity due to minimal absorption. Excessive application may lead to localized skin irritation. Wash off with water if excessive amounts are applied.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. However, consult a healthcare professional before use, especially if applying to large areas.
