Description

Octedin Gel is an antiseptic medicine. It is used in the treatment of bacterial infections. This medicine stops the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thus helping in treating the infection. Octedin Gel is meant for external use only. It should be applied only to the affected area of the skin as per the dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor. In order to get the most benefit, apply it regularly and preferably at the same time each day. Do not use larger amounts or apply it more often or for a longer duration than directed. This will only increase the risk of side effects. You may have to use it for some time before your condition starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day. This medicine is generally well tolerated with minimal or no side effects. However, minor burning, itching or redness may be seen after application, in some individuals. Consult your doctor if these persist or if your condition does not improve. Avoid any contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the medicine in these areas. Before using it, inform your doctor if you have any previous history of allergy to it or any other medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using it.
