Why is there no information here about what Difflam 3% Mouth Gel 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 Difflam 3% Mouth Gel?

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 Difflam 3% Mouth Gel 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.

How should I store Difflam 3% Mouth Gel?

Store Difflam 3% Mouth Gel below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Difflam 3% Mouth Gel?

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 Difflam 3% Mouth Gel 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 Difflam 3% Mouth Gel 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.

Directions for Use

A small amount of Difflam 3% Mouth Gel should be applied directly to the affected area inside the mouth using a clean fingertip or cotton applicator, and gently massaged in. It can generally be used up to three times a day, or as directed on the product label or by a healthcare professional, and should not be swallowed in large amounts. Avoid eating or drinking for a short period after application to allow the gel to act on the affected tissue.

Dosage

Adults and children of the age recommended on the product label typically apply a small amount of Difflam 3% Mouth Gel directly to the sore area up to three times daily. The exact amount and frequency should follow the instructions printed on the packaging or the advice of a pharmacist, and the gel should not be used continuously for more than 7 days without medical advice if symptoms persist.

Relevant Information

Difflam 3% Mouth Gel provides temporary symptomatic relief for mouth ulcers, gum soreness, and localised oral inflammation but does not treat underlying causes such as infections or ill-fitting dentures that may need separate management. If mouth pain or ulcers do not improve within a week, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever, spreading swelling, or difficulty eating and drinking, medical attention should be sought promptly. The gel is intended for topical use inside the mouth only and should not be swallowed in significant amounts.
