Oltef-NF Cream is applied topically.

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.

• Keep Oltef-NF Cream at room temperature.
• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to prevent exposure to air or moisture.
• Never store this cream in freezing conditions.
• Always keep this medication out of the reach of children.

• Since Oltef-NF Cream is used to manage skin infections, maintaining good hygiene is crucial. Regularly wash your hands, bathe frequently, and keep your skin clean and dry.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure as it may increase skin sensitivity while using this cream.
