About UREATIV 10MG LOTION

UREATIV 10MG LOTION belongs to a class of drugs called emollients (skin moisturisers) used to treat excessive dryness of the skin. Dry skin may be caused by loss of water, exposure to dry weather conditions, swimming in a chlorinated pool or certain chemicals.

UREATIV 10MG LOTION contains Urea that works by penetrating the top layer of skin where it readily absorbs and retains water. Thus, it increases the skin’s capacity to hold moisture. Thereby, it moisturizes the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer.

UREATIV 10MG LOTION is only for external use. You are advised to use UREATIV 10MG LOTION for as long as your doctor has recommended it based on your condition. Some people may experience skin redness, burning sensation or itching. Most of these side effects of UREATIV 10MG LOTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to UREATIV 10MG LOTION or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using UREATIV 10MG LOTION . Do not use UREATIV 10MG LOTION in more than advised doses or on a large area of skin for a prolonged period as it may cause adverse effects.
