Do I need a prescription to buy Candid-B Cream?

No. Candid-B Cream is a non-prescription product and can be ordered without a prescription. It is still dispensed by a registered pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

What does Candid-B Cream contain?

Candid-B Cream is a cream containing Clotrimazole 1% w/w and Beclomethasone dipropionate 0.025% w/w. The full ingredient list is shown in the Composition or Ingredients section on this page and on the product packaging.

What pack sizes does Candid-B Cream come in?

It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 60g. Choose the pack size you need from the options shown on this page before adding the item to your cart.

Why is there no information here about what Candid-B Cream is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Candid-B Cream?

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 Candid-B 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.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Candid-B 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 Candid-B 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 Candid-B 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.

Overview

Candid-B Cream is supplied as a cream, with Clotrimazole 1% w/w and Beclomethasone dipropionate 0.025% w/w. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 60g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription 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

Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of Candid-B Cream, gently rubbing it in until absorbed, usually twice daily or as directed on the product label. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid covering the treated area with airtight or occlusive dressings unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Dosage

Candid-B Cream is generally applied as a thin layer to the affected skin twice daily, in the morning and evening, for the duration recommended on the product packaging or by a pharmacist, typically for a short course due to the steroid component. Do not use more than the recommended amount or for longer than advised, as prolonged steroid use on the skin can lead to side effects.

Shelf Life

Candid-B Cream has a shelf life of approximately 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging before use, and discard the product if it has expired.

Storage Instructions

Store Candid-B Cream below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed after each use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

Dryness or irritation in the nose, throat, or mouth
Hoarseness or voice changes
Cough or sore throat
Headache
White patches in the mouth (oral thrush)
Skin thinning if used topically for extended periods

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to clotrimazole, beclomethasone, or any other ingredient in the cream
Viral skin infections such as chickenpox, herpes simplex, or herpes zoster
Tuberculosis of the skin
Untreated bacterial skin infections
Use on the face for prolonged periods without medical advice
Use near the eyes or on open wounds
Use on children under medical guidance only

Drug / Food Interactions

Avoid applying other topical steroid or antifungal products to the same area at the same time unless advised by a pharmacist or doctor
Do not use occlusive dressings or airtight bandages over the treated area unless specifically directed, as this increases steroid absorption
Inform your pharmacist of any other skin treatments you are using to avoid overlapping or interacting topical therapies

Quick Tips

Apply only a thin layer – more cream does not work faster and increases the risk of side effects
Use for the shortest duration needed to control symptoms, as advised on the label or by a pharmacist
Avoid applying to broken or weeping skin, the face, or near the eyes unless told to do so by a healthcare professional
Wash your hands before and after application, unless treating the hands
Seek pharmacist or doctor advice if there is no improvement after the recommended period of use
Do not use for longer than recommended, as this can thin the skin over time

Relevant Information

Candid-B Cream is a widely used combination product for inflamed fungal skin infections in Malaysia and Singapore, valued for providing both antifungal treatment and quick relief from itching and redness in one preparation. Keeping the affected area clean and dry, wearing breathable clothing, and completing the full recommended course even after symptoms improve can help ensure the fungal infection is fully cleared and reduce the chance of recurrence.
