Overview
HOE Ecocort Cream contains Econazole Nitrate 1% w/w (antifungal active ingredient) and is presented as a cream. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Apply a thin layer of Ecocort Cream to the affected skin and the immediately surrounding area, usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor, gently rubbing it in until absorbed; treatment is typically continued for a limited period as advised, and the corticosteroid component is usually not intended for prolonged continuous use even though the antifungal component may need a longer course to fully clear the infection.
Dosage
The typical dose is a thin application to the affected area twice daily; your doctor will advise on the total duration of treatment, which often involves an initial course to settle inflammation followed by continued antifungal treatment (potentially with a plain antifungal cream) until the infection has fully cleared, to reduce the risk of relapse.
Shelf Life
Unopened and stored correctly, HOE Ecocort Cream is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the tube or carton; do not use beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children; close the tube tightly after each use.
Side Effects
- Mild skin irritation or redness at the application site
- Itching or burning sensation
- Dry or flaky skin
- Swelling or rash (rare)
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to econazole nitrate, triamcinolone acetonide, or other ingredients
- Untreated bacterial or viral skin infections (e.g. herpes simplex, chickenpox, tuberculosis of the skin)
- Use on the face for prolonged periods without specific medical advice
- Rosacea or perioral dermatitis
- Application to open wounds or ulcerated skin unless directed by a doctor
Drug / Food Interactions
- Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids may increase risk of systemic absorption and side effects
- Occlusive dressings or use over large areas may increase systemic absorption of the corticosteroid component
- Live vaccines may be less effective if significant systemic corticosteroid absorption occurs
- No significant food interactions are known with correctly directed topical use
Quick Tips
- Use only on the specific fungal-inflammatory skin condition diagnosed by your doctor
- Do not use for longer than prescribed, as the steroid component is intended for short-term inflammation control
- Continue the full course even if symptoms improve early, to prevent the fungal infection from returning
- Keep the affected area clean and dry between applications
- Avoid tight, occlusive clothing over the treated area where possible
- Seek medical review if there is no improvement after the expected treatment period

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about HOE Ecocort Cream before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store HOE Ecocort Cream?

What should I do if I notice side effects after using HOE Ecocort Cream?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash.

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 HOE Ecocort Cream 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 HOE Ecocort Cream 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
HOE Ecocort Cream is intended for short, doctor-directed courses to bring an inflamed fungal skin infection under control; it is not intended as a long-term maintenance treatment.
- Your doctor may switch you to a plain antifungal cream (without the steroid) to complete fungal clearance once inflammation has settled.
- Misdiagnosis of a purely fungal infection as one needing a steroid-antifungal combination, or vice versa, can lead to treatment failure — confirm with your doctor before use.
- Tell your doctor about any other topical medicines or skin conditions you have before starting treatment.
