Why is there no information here about what HOE Fobancort Ointment is for?

How should I use HOE Fobancort Ointment?

Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about HOE Fobancort Ointment before I buy it?

What should I do if I notice side effects after using HOE Fobancort Ointment?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you.

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 Fobancort Ointment 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 Fobancort Ointment 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.

Overview

HOE Fobancort Ointment contains Fusidic Acid 2% and is presented as an ointment. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 5g.

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

HOE Fobancort Ointment should be used strictly as directed by the prescribing doctor. A thin layer is typically applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily, gently rubbed in, with hands washed before and after application unless the hands are being treated. It should not be used on larger areas of the body or for longer than prescribed, as this increases the risk of steroid-related side effects and antibiotic resistance.

Dosage

The dosage, frequency, and treatment duration are determined by the prescribing doctor based on the extent and severity of the infected, inflamed skin. Treatment courses combining a steroid with an antibiotic are typically kept short, often one to two weeks, with review by the doctor before any continuation is considered.

Shelf Life

HOE Fobancort Ointment is generally valid for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging and do not use the product beyond this date.

Storage Instructions

Store HOE Fobancort Ointment below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after use and out of reach of children, and avoid storing in humid areas such as bathrooms.

Side Effects

Skin irritation or burning at the application site
Dry or itchy skin
Temporary redness or rash

Drug / Food Interactions

Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids on the same site may increase the risk of skin thinning

Apply only a thin layer as more product does not improve effectiveness

Do not share this ointment with others even if their skin condition looks similar

Relevant Information

HOE Fobancort Ointment is reserved for infected inflammatory skin conditions where a doctor has confirmed both bacterial involvement and significant inflammation, since combining a potent steroid with an antibiotic is not appropriate for simple, uninfected dermatitis. Regular follow-up with the prescribing doctor helps ensure the infection is clearing and that steroid exposure is limited to the shortest effective duration, reducing the risk of resistance and skin side effects.
