CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Urea gently dissolves the intercellular matrix, which results in loosening of the horny layer of skin and shedding scaly skin at regular intervals, thereby softening hyperkeratotic areas.

PHARMACOKINETICS: The mechanism of action of topically applied Urea is not yet known.

INDICATIONS AND USES: For debridement and promotion of normal healing of hyperkeratotic surface lesions, particularly where healing is retarded by local infection, necrotic tissue, fibrinous or purulent debris or eschar. Urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dry, rough skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis pilaris, keratosis palmaris, keratoderma, corns and calluses.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients.

WARNINGS: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes.
