Overview Oculan Cream

Topical anesthetic Oculan Cream provides temporary numbness to localized areas, facilitating the insertion of medical instruments (such as catheters) by acting as an anesthetic lubricant. It's also indicated for managing the discomfort associated with inflamed urethras and bladders. Common, typically mild and transient, side effects include application-site redness, rash, burning, and itching. Persistent or concerning side effects warrant medical consultation. Prior to use, disclose any liver conditions or the use of cardiac rhythm medications to your physician.
