Overview
Ketotop Plaster contains Ketoprofen and is presented as a plaster. It is supplied in pack sizes of 7s x1 (Pack) and 7s x20.
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
Clean and dry the affected area of skin before use. Remove the protective film and apply the plaster directly over the painful area, pressing down firmly to ensure good adhesion. Usually one plaster is applied once or twice daily as directed on the packaging, and the plaster should be left in place for the recommended duration before being replaced with a fresh one.
Dosage
Typically, one Ketotop Plaster is applied to the affected area once or twice a day, depending on the product strength and the severity of the pain, and should not be left on for longer than instructed on the packaging. Treatment is generally intended for short-term use, and if pain persists beyond 7 days or worsens, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted.
Shelf Life
Ketotop Plaster typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the sachet or packaging before use.
Storage Instructions
Store Ketotop Plaster below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping each plaster sealed in its individual sachet until ready for use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children and pets.

Drug / Food Interactions

Quick Tips
- Wash hands after applying the plaster, unless the hands are the area being treated

- Seek medical advice if pain persists beyond 7 days or worsens despite regular use

Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Ketotop Plaster 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 Ketotop Plaster?

Keep out of the reach and sight of children and pets. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Ketotop Plaster?
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. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
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 Ketotop Plaster 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 Ketotop Plaster 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
Ketotop Plaster is used in Malaysia as a convenient over-the-counter option for localised musculoskeletal pain, offering targeted relief with generally lower systemic NSAID exposure than oral tablets. Older adults, individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, or asthma, and those using multiple medications should seek pharmacist or doctor advice before use, as topical NSAIDs are not entirely free of the systemic cautions that apply to oral NSAIDs.
