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.
