Mode of actions

Urea is a type of osmotic diuretic, like mannitol, but it is more irritating. It causes the body to produce more urine by raising the osmotic pressure in the kidney’s filtering system, which helps remove sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. Urea also pulls water out of cells in the brain, spinal fluid, and eye, which lowers pressure in the skull (intracranial pressure) or in the eye (intraocular pressure). However, unlike mannitol, urea can enter the eye. If the amount of urea in the blood drops lower than in the eye fluid, it can actually cause eye pressure to rise again. When applied to the skin, urea helps hydrate and soften dry, rough skin by letting the outer layer absorb more water and gently breaking down dry skin cells. It can also help relieve itching.

Dosage & Administration

Urea 10% cream is applied topically. Wash affected areas well, rinse off all traces of soap, dry, and apply sparingly twice daily.
