Description of Ocona CT 2% Solution

Ocona CT 2% Solution should be used in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it.

If you have athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible.The most common side effects of using this cream include a burning sensation and irritation, dryness, peeling or blistering of the skin.

Signs of this include rash, swelling of the lips, throat or face, swallowing or breathing problems, feeling dizzy or faint and nausea. Get emergency help if this happens. Avoid direct contact of the cream or ointment with your eyes.
