Description





Rx only

For topical use only

Not for ophthalmic use


Umecta is a keratolytic, emollient which is a gentle, yet potent, tissue softener for nails and skin


Each gram of Umecta PD bioadhesive emulsion and topical suspension contains40% urea, sodium hyaluronate 0.3%, BHT, butyrospermum parkii fruit oil, citric acid, dimethylacrylamide (and) acrylic acid (and) polystyrene ethyl methacrylate copolymer, disodium EDTA, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja sterol, helianthus annuus oil, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, purified water, sodium citrate, stearic acid.






Clinical Pharmacology




Urea gently dissolves the intercellular matrix which results in loosening the horny layer of skin and shedding scaly skin at regular intervals, thereby softening hyperkeratotic areas. Urea also hydrates and gently dissolves the intercellular matrix of the nail plate which can result in the softening and eventual debridement of the nail plate.

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, keratoderma, corns, and calluses, as well as damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.



Contraindications


Known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients.

Warnings


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





Precautions


This medication is to be used as directed by a physician and should not be used to treat any condition other than that for which it was prescribed. If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Pregnancy Category C


Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Umecta. It is also not known whether Umecta can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Umecta should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers


It is not known whether or not this drug is secreted in human milk. Because many drugs are secreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Umecta is administered to a nursing woman.
