Overview
Fucidin H Cream contains Fusidic acid and is presented as a cream. 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
Fucidin H Cream should only be applied as directed by the prescribing doctor or pharmacist, typically as a thin layer to the affected area two to three times a day. Hands should be washed before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and the cream should not be used on larger areas or for longer than instructed, since prolonged use of a steroid-antibiotic combination can lead to skin thinning or antibiotic resistance.
Dosage
The exact duration and frequency of use will be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the severity and location of the skin condition, and is usually limited to a short course of treatment, commonly up to one to two weeks, after which the condition should be reassessed rather than continuing the cream indefinitely.
Shelf Life
Fucidin H Cream should be used within the period stated on the packaging and should not be used after the expiry date printed on the tube or carton.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the tube tightly closed when not in use, and keep out of reach of children.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Fucidin H 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 Fucidin H 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 Fucidin H 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 Fucidin H 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
Fucidin H Cream is intended for short-term, doctor-directed use only, and ongoing monitoring is important because long-term or unsupervised use of combination steroid-antibiotic creams can mask worsening infection, cause skin thinning, or contribute to antibiotic resistance; any skin condition that persists or worsens despite treatment should be reviewed by a doctor promptly.
