Why is there no information here about what CP Pharma Betamethasone 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 CP Pharma Betamethasone Cream?

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about CP Pharma Betamethasone 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 CP Pharma Betamethasone Cream?

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 CP Pharma Betamethasone 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 CP Pharma Betamethasone 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

CP Pharma Betamethasone Cream contains Betamethasone 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

This cream should only be used as directed by the prescribing doctor following an online consultation. Apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin, usually once or twice daily as prescribed, and gently rub in until absorbed, avoiding contact with the eyes, mouth, and broken or infected skin unless specifically instructed otherwise. Wash hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated.

Dosage

The amount and frequency of use will be determined by the prescribing doctor based on the condition being treated, its severity, and the area of skin affected, and should not be adjusted or continued beyond the prescribed duration without medical advice. Potent corticosteroid creams such as this are generally intended for short-term use on affected areas only, and long-term or widespread use should be closely monitored by a doctor.

Shelf Life

Do not use this cream after the expiry date stated on the tube or carton. Once opened, the cream should generally be used within the period advised by the pharmacist or as stated on the packaging, and any remaining product should be discarded after this time or if it shows signs of separation or discolouration.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C to 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Store out of the reach and sight of children, and do not use if the cream has been left open for an extended period or appears altered in texture or colour.

Side Effects

Skin thinning (when used topically)
Irritation or burning at application site
Increased appetite and weight gain
Mood changes or difficulty sleeping
Elevated blood sugar levels
Stomach upset or bloating

Increased risk of infections

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to betamethasone or other corticosteroids
Untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections at the application site
Acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis (unless specifically directed by a doctor)

Long-term continuous use on the face, groin, or armpits without close medical supervision

Drug / Food Interactions

Avoid using other topical steroid products on the same area at the same time unless directed by a doctor
Concurrent use of other immune-suppressing treatments may increase the risk of skin infection
Occlusive dressings or bandaging over treated skin should only be used if specifically advised, as this increases steroid absorption
No significant food interactions are relevant to a topical corticosteroid cream

Quick Tips

Use only as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall
Apply a thin layer only to the affected area, not to healthy surrounding skin
Avoid prolonged use on the face, groin, or skin folds unless specifically directed

Relevant Information

Potent topical corticosteroids like betamethasone are effective for controlling flare-ups of inflammatory skin conditions but are not intended for indefinite or unsupervised use, as prolonged application can lead to thinning of the skin and other local side effects, particularly on delicate areas such as the face and skin folds. Regular follow-up with the prescribing doctor helps ensure the treatment remains appropriate and is stepped down once the skin condition improves.
