Overview
Medela Purelan Lanolin Cream is supplied as a cream, with materials and components. It is supplied in a pack size of 37g.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Wash your hands, then squeeze a small, pea-sized amount onto your fingertips and gently apply it to the nipple and areola area after each breastfeeding session, or to other dry areas such as the lips, elbows, or heels as needed. There is no need to wash the cream off the nipple before the next feed.
Dosage
Not applicable — this cream is for external, topical use only and is not swallowed. There is no fixed dose; apply a pea-sized amount to the nipple area after each breastfeeding session, or to other dry skin areas as needed.
Shelf Life
Unopened, the cream is generally stable for around 24 to 36 months from manufacture; check the expiry date printed on the tube or carton. Once opened, it is best used within around 6 to 12 months.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and out of reach of children.
Side Effects
- Common: Mild warming sensation, slight tingling, or temporary redness at the application site, particularly on first use.
- Serious: An allergic reaction to lanolin (such as marked rash, swelling, or persistent itching) is uncommon but possible, especially with a known wool or lanolin allergy; stop use and seek medical advice if this occurs.
Contraindications
- Known allergy to lanolin or wool-derived products — do not use this or any other lanolin-based cream if you or your baby have a lanolin allergy.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if signs of nipple infection (such as increasing pain, warmth, redness, or discharge) develop.
Drug / Food Interactions
- No drug or food interactions are known for this topical lanolin cream, as it is applied externally and is not intended to be ingested; it is also considered safe to leave on the nipple during breastfeeding without washing it off first.
Quick Tips
- Apply after every breastfeeding session.
- There is no need to wipe the cream off the nipple before the next feed, as it is safe for the baby.
- Use the larger 37g tube for regular home use, and consider a smaller Purelan tube for your nappy bag.
- The same cream can be used on other areas such as lips, elbows, heels, or cuticles.
- If nipple discomfort persists despite regular use, have your baby’s latch checked by a lactation consultant.
- Avoid use if you have a known lanolin or wool allergy.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Medela Purelan Lanolin Cream before I buy it?

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 Medela Purelan Lanolin 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 Medela Purelan Lanolin 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
