What is Urederm?
Promoting the healing of certain skin conditions (eg, hyperkeratotic conditions). It may also be used for certain other skin conditions (eg, corns; calluses; rough, dry skin) as determined by your doctor.
Urederm topical suspension contains a debriding agent and an emollient. The debriding agent works by helping the breakdown of dead skin and pus, which helps to loosen and shed hard and scaly skin. The emollient moisturizes and softens the skin.
Urederm indications
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. Urederm 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, as well as damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.

Uses of Urederm in details
This medication is used to treat earwax buildup. It helps to soften, loosen, and remove the earwax. Too much earwax can block the ear canal and reduce hearing. This medication releases oxygen and starts to foam when it comes in contact with the skin. The foaming helps break up and remove the earwax.
Consult your doctor before using this product in children younger than 12 years.
How to use Urederm otic
This medication is for use only in the ear. Apply this medication into the ear, usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Do not use this medication for more than 4 days at a time unless your doctor instructs you to. Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
To make sure that the right amount of medication is given, and to avoid touching the ear with the dropper, have another person give the drops if possible. To lower the risk of dizziness, hold the container in your hand for a few minutes to warm it.
To apply ear drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your ear or any other surface. Lie on your side or tilt the affected ear upward. Hold the dropper directly over the ear and place 5 to 10 drops into the ear canal. To help the drops roll into the ear of an adult, hold the earlobe up and back. In children, hold the earlobe down and back. Keep the head tilted for several minutes or insert a soft cotton plug in the ear.
If there is any wax remaining after treatment, it may be removed by gently rinsing the ear with warm water or using an ear syringe with a soft rubber bulb. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about using an ear syringe safely.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after use.
Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If this occurs, rinse the eyes thoroughly with water.
If your condition persists after 4 days of use or if it worsens, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

What are the possible side effects of Urederm?
Hypersensitivity reactions including fever and chills have been reported after the infusion of soya oil emulsion although they are considered to be fairly rare. Other rare immediate reactions include dyspnoea, cyanosis, hyperlipidaemia, hypercoagulability, nausea, vomiting, headache, and chest and back pain. Delayed reactions include hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, jaundice due to cholestasis, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, and transient increases in liver function tests.
Prolonged or too rapid infusion of soya oil emulsion or its use in patients with impaired fat metabolism has been associated with the ’overload syndrome’. This is manifested by anaemia, leucocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and impaired coagulation, hepatosplenomegaly, hyperlipidaemia, fever, focal seizures, shock, and coma. Metabolic acidosis has been associated with severe overdosage especially if carbohydrates are not also given. Pigmentation of tissues in the reticuloendothelial system after prolonged therapy with lipid emulsion infusions has also been reported.
Soya protein-based infant feeds can be antigenic and cause gastrointestinal adverse effects in sensitive individuals.
