Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.Urea is a physiological product derived from human protein metabolism. It is found naturally in the skin and when applied topically it can increase the horny layer's capacity to retain water. Balneum Plus Cream has been shown to increase skin hydration and when used as recommended provides hydration for 24 hours.

Dry skin may be caused by loss of water, exposure to dry weather conditions, swimming in a chlorinated pool or certain chemicals. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/ tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. Burning, itching, stinging, redness, or irritation may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.While using Eucerin Urea Cream for dry itchy skin there are other things you can do at home to help improve the condition of your skin. Some of these include: Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist have told you. The water-retaining property of the stratum corneum largely comes from a group of substances known as natural moistening factors (NMFs). Among these NMFs are: Lauromacrogols have the properties of a topical anaesthetic and have an antipruritic effect. The local tolerability of lauromacrogols is good. People who struggle with sensitive skin will want to look for Eucerin Urea Repair and other sensitive skin products. These products will not consist of any preservatives, reducing chances of experiencing a skin breakout.

Urea-containing formulations have shown significant clinical improvement in many of the dermatoses presenting with scaly and dry skin such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, xerosis, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis Urea 10 Cream is a potential keratolytic emollient indicated to be used for dry and flaky skin. The cream is a gentle tissue softener used for skin and nails. The cream is composed of Urea, Isopropyl myristate, Propylene glycol, Stearic acid, Trolamine and Xanthan gum. When applying urea topical to the nails, avoid getting any medicine on the cuticles or surrounding skin. Apply generously to the nail and allow the medicine to dry. You may cover the nail with a bandage or gauze if your doctor advises. The treated nail should be easily removed after several days.

AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION

Keratinocytes express functionally active urea transporters. In this cell type, urea uptake was found to be associated with active regulation of the transcriptional expression of genes encoding for urea transporters and beyond. Specifically, urea induces the expression of filaggrin, loricrin and transglutaminase-1, i.e., genes which are important for keratinocyte differentiation and thus skin barrier function [ 8]. Transglutaminase-1 catalyzes the formation of isopeptide protein–protein crosslinks, allowing the construction of the mechanically resistant envelope composed of proteins such as involucrin and locrinin (its major component), which encloses corneocytes [ 8]. Filaggrin is a crucial epidermal protein which contributes to the structure of the stratum corneum and to skin barrier function. Filaggrin mutations can be observed in genodermatoses such as ichthyosis vulgaris, caused by loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene, and characterized by dry skin and scaling, or in inflammatory chronic dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis (AD) [ 6]. AD patients with filaggrin mutations have more frequent hospital admissions and reduced health-related quality of life than AD individuals with wild-type fillagrin [ 6]. Filaggrin expression has shown the strongest upregulation after urea treatment [ 8]. This is in line with the observation that urea treatment was found to normalize skin barrier function and to upregulate AMP expression in a murine model of AD [ 8]. Accordingly, controlled clinical studies have demonstrated that topical application of urea is effective in reducing TEWL and thus in improving skin barrier function. Urea also induces the transcriptional expression of the antimicrobial peptides cathelicidin and β-defensin-2 in cultured keratinocytes in vitro and in human skin in vivo, further emphasizing its effectiveness in improving skin barrier function [ 8].
