About Ureativ 20 Cream

Ureativ 20 Cream 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 20 Cream 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 20 Cream is only for external use. You are advised to use Ureativ 20 Cream 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 20 Cream 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 20 Cream 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 20 Cream. Do not use Ureativ 20 Cream in more than advised doses or on a large area of skin for a prolonged period as it may cause adverse effects. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Ureativ 20 Cream catches fire and burns easily.
