Pregnancy
(Category C)
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Hydro 35 Foam. It is also not known whether Hydro 35 Foam can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Hydro 35 Foam should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether topically applied urea is excreted in human milk. Due to the fact that many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised by physicians when administering HYDRO 35 Foam to nursing mothers.
Clinical Pharmacology for Hydro 35
Topically applied urea dissolves the intercellular matrix of the skin which results in softening of the hyperkeratotic tissue, and thus enhances shedding of scaly, dry skin. Urea topically applied to the nail plate has a similar effect on the intercellular matrix of the nail plate.
Pharmacokinetics
The mechanism of action of topical urea is not yet known.
