Do I need a prescription to buy Daivobet Ointment?

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

What does Daivobet Ointment contain?

Daivobet Ointment is an ointment containing Betamethasone Dipropionate. The full ingredient list is shown in the Composition or Ingredients section on this page and on the product packaging.

What pack sizes does Daivobet Ointment come in?

It is supplied in a pack size of 30g. 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 Daivobet Ointment 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 Daivobet Ointment?

Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Daivobet Ointment 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 Daivobet Ointment?

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 Daivobet Ointment 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 Daivobet Ointment 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

Daivobet Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Betamethasone Dipropionate. It is supplied in a pack size of 30g.

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

Daivobet Ointment should be used exactly as prescribed by the doctor following an online consultation via DoctorOnCall. It is typically applied once daily as a thin layer to the affected skin areas, gently rubbed in, avoiding the face, groin, armpits, and broken or infected skin unless specifically directed. Hands should be washed after application unless the hands are the treated area, and treatment duration should not be extended beyond what the prescribing doctor advises.

Dosage

The dosing and treatment duration for Daivobet Ointment are individualised by the prescribing doctor based on the extent and severity of psoriasis, but total weekly use is generally capped, often around 100g per week for adults, and continuous use is usually limited to no more than 4 consecutive weeks due to the corticosteroid component. Any change to dose, frequency, or duration should only be made after discussion with the prescribing doctor.

Shelf Life

Daivobet Ointment typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 30 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored under recommended conditions. The exact expiry date is printed on the tube and outer carton and should always be checked before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Daivobet Ointment below 25°C in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach and sight of children, and do not use the ointment past its printed expiry date.

Drug / Food Interactions

Apply only to the areas of skin specifically indicated by the prescribing doctor and avoid the face, groin, and armpits unless told otherwise

Relevant Information

Because Daivobet Ointment contains a potent corticosteroid in combination with a vitamin D3 analogue, regular follow-up with the prescribing doctor is important to balance effective psoriasis control against the risks of prolonged corticosteroid exposure, such as skin thinning. DoctorOnCall’s online consultation service allows a doctor to assess the individual’s psoriasis, set an appropriate treatment duration, and arrange review before and during use of this ointment.
