Hydrophill 10% 180ml

Hydrophill 10% 180ml, made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, is a moisturising and keratolytic skin treatment. Its active ingredient is Urea 10%, and it is used for very dry, rough skin, cracked heels, ichthyosis, hyperkeratosis and eczema.

Uses of Hydrophill 10% 180ml

Hydrophill 10% 180ml creams and lotions are used to moisturise and soften very dry, rough, scaly or thickened skin. They are commonly used for cracked heels, calluses, ichthyosis (a condition causing persistently scaly skin), keratosis pilaris, and dry skin associated with eczema or psoriasis. Higher-strength products are mainly used on thick skin such as the heels and soles.

How Hydrophill 10% 180ml works

Urea is a natural part of the skin’s moisturising factor. It draws water into the outer layer of the skin and helps it stay hydrated. At higher strengths it also loosens and breaks down the hard keratin in thickened skin, so rough, scaly areas become smoother and softer.

Possible side effects

Hydrophill 10% 180ml is usually well tolerated, though some people notice:

• Stinging or burning, especially on cracked skin
• Redness
• Itching
• Skin irritation

Stop using it and see a doctor if you develop severe irritation, blistering or a spreading rash.

Precautions and warnings

• It is for external use only; avoid the eyes, lips and mucous membranes.
• Avoid applying it to broken, inflamed or infected skin, as it can sting.
• Higher-strength products should be used only on thickened skin and not on the face or in skin folds unless advised.
• Use lower-strength products for children, and ask a pharmacist if unsure.
• People with diabetes should get cracked or thickened skin on the feet checked by a healthcare professional.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
