Description
Overview of the medicine
Neiva 50-50 Ointment is a dermatological preparation containing Urea and Lactic Acid. It is formulated to deeply moisturize, exfoliate, and soften rough, dry, or scaly skin, helping to restore the skin's natural barrier function.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin 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 to clean, dry skin. Gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands after application.
Mechanism of Action
Urea is a humectant and keratolytic agent that increases the water content in the stratum corneum and promotes desquamation. Lactic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, also acts as a humectant and helps to soften and exfoliate the outer layer of skin, improving texture and hydration.
