Directions for Use
Allow one Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenge (Mint Fresh) to dissolve slowly in the mouth, without chewing or swallowing it whole, so the medicine has time to act on the throat tissue. Lozenges may be used every few hours as needed for throat pain, following the maximum daily amount stated on the product packaging, and should not be used continuously for more than a few days without checking with a pharmacist or doctor.
Dosage
Adults and children of the age recommended on the product label typically dissolve one lozenge in the mouth every 2 to 3 hours as needed for throat pain, up to the maximum daily number stated on the packaging. The exact dosing schedule should follow the instructions printed on the product or the advice of a pharmacist, and the recommended daily maximum should not be exceeded.
Shelf Life
Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) should be used within the shelf life printed on the packaging, and the expiry date should always be checked before use. Do not use lozenges after their expiry date has passed.
Storage Instructions
Store Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach and sight of children, as the lozenges may be mistaken for sweets.

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Difflam Anti-Inflammatory Lozenges (Mint Fresh) registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
