Why is there no information here about what Dermovate 0.05% 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 Dermovate 0.05% Ointment?

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 Dermovate 0.05% 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 Dermovate 0.05% 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 Dermovate 0.05% 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 Dermovate 0.05% 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

Dermovate 0.05% Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Clobetasol Propionate 0.05%. It is supplied in pack sizes of 100g and 15g.

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

Dermovate 0.05% Ointment must be used exactly as prescribed by the doctor. A thin layer is applied to the affected area, usually once or twice daily, and gently rubbed in until absorbed. It should not be applied to the face, groin, underarms, or broken skin unless specifically instructed, and should never be used under occlusive dressings unless the doctor has explicitly advised this.

Dosage

Treatment courses with Dermovate 0.05% Ointment are typically restricted to a maximum of a few weeks at a time, with a set weekly quantity limit advised by the prescribing doctor to reduce systemic absorption risk. The doctor will reassess the skin condition before authorising any further course, and total body surface area treated at any one time is usually limited.

Storage Instructions

Store Dermovate 0.05% Ointment below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and well 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 any other ingredient in the ointment
Untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections at the application site
Rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or acne vulgaris
Use on the face, groin, or underarms without explicit medical instruction
Use in children without close specialist supervision, as they are more susceptible to systemic effects

Drug / Food Interactions

Concurrent use with other potent topical corticosteroids increases the risk of skin thinning and systemic absorption
Use with occlusive dressings significantly increases systemic absorption and must only be done if specifically directed by the doctor
Applying other topical medicated products to the same area should be discussed with the prescribing doctor

Quick Tips

Use strictly for the duration and quantity limits set by your doctor, never longer
Apply only a thin layer; more product does not improve results and increases risk
Never use on the face or skin folds unless your doctor has specifically instructed this
Attend all follow-up appointments so your doctor can monitor your skin and overall response
Report any signs of infection, unusual skin changes, or systemic symptoms promptly

Relevant Information

Dermovate 0.05% Ointment is reserved for severe, treatment-resistant inflammatory skin conditions due to its superpotent classification, and its use requires careful medical oversight to balance effective control of the condition against the risk of significant skin and systemic side effects. Doctors typically prescribe it as a short, targeted course, often followed by a step-down to a less potent steroid once the condition has improved, to minimise cumulative steroid exposure.
