Urea HC Cream

Urea HC Cream is a topical hydrocortisone cream supplied in a 10-tube pack by Parker Robinson Pvt. Ltd. The exact hydrocortisone strength is as labelled on the tube, and it belongs to the corticosteroid class. It is used on the skin to help relieve inflammation, redness, itching, and irritation from allergic and inflammatory skin conditions.

How it works: Hydrocortisone reduces the skin’s inflammatory response by calming the release of substances that cause redness, swelling, and itching. In cream form, Urea HC Cream spreads over the affected area so the medicine can act directly where the skin is irritated.

Because Urea HC Cream is a topical hydrocortisone cream, it is meant for people whose doctor wants a skin-applied steroid rather than an oral medicine. The as-labelled strength may be chosen when symptoms need local anti-inflammatory relief on a limited area, with a feel that is typically lighter and less greasy than ointments. A clinician may select this cream form when a fast-spreading, easy-to-rub-in product is preferred for inflamed skin.

• Allergic skin rashes
• Eczema flare-ups
• Contact dermatitis
• Itchy inflamed skin
• Minor localized redness and swelling

• Use Urea HC Cream only on the skin, not by mouth or on the eyes.
• Wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer.
• Apply only to the areas your doctor told you to treat.
• Rub in gently until the cream disappears.
• Wash your hands after use unless your hands are the area being treated.
• Do not cover the treated area with a tight bandage unless your doctor tells you to.

Urea HC Cream provides hydrocortisone at the strength printed on each tube, and the exact amount applied depends on the size and location of the rash. It is usually applied as a thin layer once to several times daily, but the maximum amount and duration should be decided by your doctor. Do not use more often or on larger areas than prescribed, because stronger or longer use can raise the risk of skin side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Hydrocortisone may include:

• Mild burning or stinging after application
• Skin dryness
• Itching or irritation at the application site
• Temporary redness
• Thinning of the skin with repeated use, especially if used too long

• Do not use Urea HC Cream on broken, infected, or heavily oozing skin unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Avoid using it on the face, groin, or underarms for long periods unless specifically directed.
• Do not cover the area with occlusive dressings unless prescribed, because this can increase absorption.
• Use extra caution in children, who may absorb more steroid through the skin.
• Stop and contact a clinician if the rash worsens or does not improve as expected.
• Avoid getting the cream in the eyes, mouth, or nose.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using this cream regularly.

• Other topical steroids applied to the same area
• Other skin medicines that can irritate the skin, such as harsh acne products
• Occlusive dressings or waterproof coverings that increase absorption
• Medicines or products that weaken the skin barrier when used together on the same area

Store Urea HC Cream at room temperature, tightly closed, and keep it away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
