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 Biowell Famotac 40mg Film-Coated Tablet 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 Biowell Famotac 40mg Film-Coated Tablet 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

Biowell Famotac 40mg Film-Coated Tablet contains Famotidine 40mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in pack sizes of 100s and 10s.

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.

Directions for Use

Famotac should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily, with or without food, and swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not stop treatment early even if symptoms improve, as your doctor may want you to complete a full course to allow proper healing of any underlying ulcer.

Dosage

The dose and duration of treatment depend on the condition being treated and will be determined by your prescribing doctor, who may adjust the dose based on your response and any kidney function concerns. Do not take more than the prescribed dose or use it for longer than advised without medical review.

Biowell Famotac 40mg Film-Coated Tablet 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 packaging and do not use beyond this date.

Patients with reduced kidney function may require a lower dose, and it is important that any persistent digestive symptoms are properly evaluated rather than self-managed long-term.
