Overview

Directions for Use
Before use, gently blow the nose to clear it, then tilt the head slightly forward and insert the spray nozzle into one nostril, spraying while breathing in gently through the nose, then repeat for the other nostril as directed on the label. The spray should only be used in the nose, the nozzle should be wiped clean after each use, and this product should not be used for longer than the maximum number of consecutive days stated on the packaging.
Dosage
The usual adult and adolescent dose is one to two sprays into each nostril, generally not more than two to three times a day, and no more often than every 10 to 12 hours as indicated on the label. This product should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days unless otherwise advised by a doctor or pharmacist, as prolonged use can lead to rebound congestion that is harder to treat.

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 Axcel Oxymetazoline 0.05% Nasal Spray 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 Axcel Oxymetazoline 0.05% Nasal Spray 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.

Relevant Information
Axcel Oxymetazoline 0.05% Nasal Spray is intended only for short-term, occasional relief of nasal congestion and is not suitable as a long-term daily treatment, since extended use can cause the nasal lining to become dependent on the medicine, worsening congestion once it is stopped. Anyone with congestion lasting more than a week, or accompanied by facial pain, fever, or coloured nasal discharge, should see a doctor to rule out a sinus infection or other underlying cause.
