Description
Overview of the medicine
Eucera-10-W Lotion contains 10% urea, which is a highly effective emollient and keratolytic agent. It helps to hydrate dry, rough, and scaly skin, promoting smoother and healthier skin texture. It aids in the removal of dead skin cells and improves the skin's natural barrier function.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to affected areas of skin once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. Gently rub in until absorbed.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required for topical application.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply to clean, dry skin. Wash hands before and after application. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes.
Mechanism of Action
Urea works as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, and as a keratolytic, breaking down excess keratin in the outer layer of the skin. This dual action softens and rehydrates dry skin, reducing scaling and roughness.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Softening and hydration noticeable within days; full keratolytic effect may take 1-2 weeks.
Excretion
Mainly through epidermal desquamation; minimal systemic excretion via kidneys if absorbed.
Half life
Not applicable for topical use due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption when applied topically to intact skin. Absorption may increase with impaired skin barrier or prolonged use.
Metabolism
Not significantly metabolized systemically due to minimal absorption. Locally, it helps break down keratin.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to urea or any component of the lotion
- •Acute inflammatory skin conditions
- •Open wounds or severely broken skin
Drug Interactions
Topical corticosteroids
May enhance penetration of other topical medications, including corticosteroids.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
Overdose
