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.
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 pilaris, keratosis palmaris, keratoderma, corns and calluses.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients.
WARNINGS
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes.
PRECAUTIONS
This medication is to be used as directed by a physician and should not be used to treat any condition other than that for which it was prescribed. If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
PREGNANCY
Pregnancy Category B. Animal reproduction studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, however, there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, KerolTM AD should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
NURSING MOTHERS
It is not known whether or not this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when KerolTM AD is administered to a nursing woman.
KEEP THIS AND ALL MEDICATIONS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Adverse Reactions
Transient stinging, burning, itching or irritation may occur and normally disappear on discontinuing the medication.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Apply KerolTM AD to affected skin twice per day, or as directed by a physician. Rub in until completely absorbed.

Steps for using Kerol AD to treat dry skin conditions including psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, keratosis palmaris, keratoderma, dermatitis, pruritus, eczema, corns and calluses.
Kerol AD can be applied directly to the treatment area(s) without pouring from a bottle or squeezing from a tube. The pump is designed to consistently deliver a precise amount of Kerol AD with each use once the pump has been primed and medication is delivered to the spout. To begin using Kerol AD:
- Remove the cap.
- With the first use, prime the chamber by pushing the pump top all the way down and then release. Repeat this four to six times until the chamber inside is filled and the Kerol AD passes through the spout.*
- To use after the chamber is filled, push the pump top all the way down to dispense one dose of Kerol AD. A precise amount of Kerol AD will be consistently delivered with each use.
- Apply Kerol AD to the affected area(s).
- Gently massage Kerol AD into the affected area twice a day or as directed by your physician. Keep Kerol AD away from the eyes, lips or mucous membranes.
- Replace the cap.
* Sample bottles of Kerol AD have a different fill ratio and will need to be pumped eight to ten times to prime the chamber and get the Kerol AD to pass through the spout.
