Overview
Univate 0.05% Cream contains Clobetasol propionate 0.05% w/w 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 Univate Cream to the affected skin only, exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Rub in gently until absorbed and wash your hands afterward unless the hands are being treated; avoid applying to the face, groin, or underarms unless your doctor has specifically instructed this, as these areas are more prone to steroid side effects.
Dosage
Use the smallest amount needed to thinly cover the affected area, for the shortest duration recommended by your doctor, typically not exceeding 2 consecutive weeks without a medical review. This medicine requires a valid prescription obtained through an online consultation with a doctor via DoctorOnCall, and the treated area or duration should never be extended without your doctor’s confirmation.
Shelf Life
Univate 0.05% Cream is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and carton before use and do not use beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped after use and out of reach of children.
Side Effects
- Burning, stinging or irritation at the application site
- Dry or cracked skin
- Skin thinning (with prolonged use)
- Changes in skin color
- Stretch marks
- Acne or increased hair growth on treated areas
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate or other corticosteroids
- Untreated bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections at the application site
- Acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis
- Not for use on the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by a doctor
- Not intended for long-term continuous use without regular medical review
- Use in children generally avoided unless specifically prescribed, due to higher risk of systemic absorption
Drug / Food Interactions
- Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids on the same area should be avoided unless directed by a doctor, as this raises the risk of skin thinning and systemic absorption
- Covering treated skin with occlusive dressings increases absorption significantly and should only be done under medical instruction
- No significant food interactions are expected with topical application
Quick Tips
- Apply only to the area and for the duration specifically prescribed by your doctor — do not use as a general moisturiser
- Avoid use on broken, infected, or weeping skin unless your doctor has advised otherwise
- Do not cover or bandage the treated area tightly unless instructed, as this increases absorption
- Attend scheduled follow-ups so your doctor can monitor your skin’s response and check for early signs of thinning
- Never share this medicine with another person, even with similar-looking skin symptoms

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Univate 0.05% 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. 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 Univate 0.05% 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 Univate 0.05% 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.
