Itching or irritation at the site of application
Skin discolouration: You might observe a slight change in the colour of your skin where you apply the cream.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Oltef-NF Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

The effectiveness of Oltef-NF Cream comes from four active ingredients that work together:

Ciprofloxacin (1%): This antibiotic disrupts DNA replication in bacteria by inhibiting certain enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV), leading to bacterial cell death.
Metronidazole (1%): It works against bacteria and protozoa by producing harmful free radicals that damage their DNA, causing cell death.
Terbinafine (1%): This antifungal inhibits an enzyme called squalene epoxidase in fungi, disrupting essential functions and causing fungal cell death.
Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): As a potent corticosteroid, it activates specific receptors in your body which lead to the production of proteins that reduce inflammation.
