Umecta is a keratolytic, emollient which is a gentle, yet potent, tissue softener for nails and skin
Each gram of Umecta PD bioadhesive emulsion and topical suspension contains40% urea, sodium hyaluronate 0.3%, BHT, butyrospermum parkii fruit oil, citric acid, dimethylacrylamide (and) acrylic acid (and) polystyrene ethyl methacrylate copolymer, disodium EDTA, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja sterol, helianthus annuus oil, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, purified water, sodium citrate, stearic acid.
Clinical Pharmacology
Urea gently dissolves the intercellular matrix which results in loosening the horny layer of skin and shedding scaly skin at regular intervals, thereby softening hyperkeratotic areas. Urea also hydrates and gently dissolves the intercellular matrix of the nail plate which can result in the softening and eventual debridement of the nail plate.
Pharmacokinetics
The mechanism of action of topically applied urea is not yet known.
Indications and Uses
For debridement and promotion of normal healing of hyperkeratotic surface lesions, particularly where healing is retarded by local infection, necrotic tissue, fibrinous or purulent debris or eschar. Urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dry, rough skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis, keratoderma, corns, and calluses, as well as damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.

Generic Name: alfuzosin (Oral route)
al-FUE-zoe-sin
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Uroxatral
Available Dosage Forms:
- Tablet, Extended Release
Therapeutic Class: Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy Agent
Pharmacologic Class: Alpha-1 Adrenergic Blocker
Uses For Uroxatral
Alfuzosin is used to treat the signs and symptoms of benign enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). Benign enlargement of the prostate is a problem that can occur in men as they get older. The prostate gland is located below the bladder. As the prostate gland enlarges, certain muscles in the gland may become tight and get in the way of the tube that drains urine from the bladder. This can cause problems with urinating, such as a need to urinate often, a weak stream when urinating, or a feeling of not being able to empty the bladder completely.
Alfuzosin helps relax the muscles in the prostate and the opening of the bladder. This may help increase the flow of urine or decrease the symptoms. However, alfuzosin will not shrink the prostate. The prostate may continue to get larger. This may cause the symptoms to become worse over time. Therefore, even though alfuzosin may lessen the problems caused by enlarged prostate now, surgery still may be needed in the future.
This medicine is usually given only to men. It is not normally given to women or children.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

In the U.S.
- Uniretic
Available Dosage Forms:
- Tablet
Therapeutic Class: ACE Inhibitor/Thiazide Combination
Pharmacologic Class: Diuretic
Chemical Class: Thiazide
Uses For Uniretic
Moexipril and hydrochlorothiazide combination is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Hypertension may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled .
Moexipril works by blocking an enzyme in the body that is necessary to produce a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, the blood vessels relax. Hydrochlorothiazide works by helping to reduce the amount of salt and water in the body by acting on the kidneys to increase the flow of urine. Both of these medicines lower blood pressure and increase the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart .
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription .
