Description
Overview of the medicine
Eucera-10-W-Cream contains 10% w/w Urea, a potent humectant and mild keratolytic, used to hydrate and soften dry, rough, and scaly skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. It helps to restore the skin's moisture barrier and promote desquamation.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin two to three times daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required; use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required due to minimal systemic absorption.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply to clean, dry skin. Gently massage until absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and open wounds.
Mechanism of Action
Urea acts as a humectant by drawing water into the stratum corneum, increasing skin hydration. At higher concentrations, it also exhibits keratolytic properties, breaking down keratin and facilitating the shedding of dead skin cells, leading to smoother skin.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Relief from dryness and roughness can be noticed within days of regular application.
Excretion
Primarily excreted via urine if absorbed systemically, but topical application leads to very limited systemic exposure.
Half life
Not significant due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin. Absorption may increase with compromised skin barrier.
Metabolism
Not significantly metabolized systemically when applied topically.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Urea or any component of the cream
- •Acute inflammation or weeping skin conditions
Drug Interactions
None known for topical Urea 10% w/w cream
Minimal systemic absorption makes drug interactions unlikely.
Storage
Store below 30°C. Do not freeze. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity due to minimal absorption. Excessive application may lead to skin irritation. Wash off excess cream with water.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and lactation due to minimal systemic absorption. Consult a physician if concerns arise.
