About Oltef-NF Cream

Oltef-NF Cream is a combination medicine used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria or fungi, including ringworm infection, jock itch, athlete’s foot, rosacea, psoriasis, etc. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. Fungal skin infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.

Oltef-NF Cream contains Metronidazole, Terbinafine, Clobetasol and Ciprofloxacin. Metronidazole kills microorganisms by damaging their DNA. Ciprofloxacin prevents the bacteria from reproducing and repairing themselves. Clobetasol inhibits the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Terbinafine kills the fungi by preventing the formation of fungal protective covering. Together, Oltef-NF Cream helps in treating skin infections.

In some cases, Oltef-NF Cream may cause side effects such as dryness, itching, redness, peeling, and stinging. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Oltef-NF Cream. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid contact of Oltef-NF Cream with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with water thoroughly. Oltef-NF Cream is for external use only; do not swallow it. Contact your doctor immediately if swallowed.
