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 Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) 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 Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) 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

Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) is supplied as lozenges, with Locally-acting soothing/anti-irritant ingredient(s) as per the specific product label. It is supplied in pack sizes of 16s and 8s.

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

Allow one Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) to dissolve slowly in the mouth; do not chew or swallow it whole, as sucking slowly allows the soothing ingredients to stay in contact with the throat for longer. It may be repeated every few hours as needed for symptom relief, without exceeding the maximum number of lozenges stated on the product packaging.

Dosage

For adults and children old enough to safely suck a lozenge (as guided by the product packaging), one lozenge may be taken as needed for throat irritation or cough symptoms, up to the maximum daily number stated on the label. It is intended for short-term, as-needed use; if symptoms persist beyond a week, or are accompanied by fever, breathing difficulty, or worsening symptoms, a doctor should be consulted.

Shelf Life

Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened under the recommended conditions. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the pack tightly closed after opening and out of the reach and sight of young children, as lozenges can pose a choking hazard.

Side Effects

Mouth or throat irritation
Numbness or tingling sensation
Dry mouth
Skin rash (for topical formulations)
Allergic reactions (rare)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the lozenge
Not recommended for young children who may be unable to safely suck a lozenge without a choking risk; check the product packaging for the minimum recommended age
Caution in people with phenylketonuria if the specific formulation used contains a sugar-free sweetener that is a source of phenylalanine — check the ingredient label

Drug / Food Interactions

As Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) act mainly locally in the mouth and throat, significant interactions with other oral or systemic medicines are uncommon with normal use
Avoid taking other throat lozenges, sprays, or gargles at the same time; space them apart to avoid excessive local exposure
Consult a pharmacist if you are using other cough or cold medicines together with these lozenges

Quick Tips

Suck the lozenge slowly; do not chew or swallow it whole

Stay well hydrated and rest your voice if throat irritation is linked to overuse

Relevant Information

Difflam Cough Lozenges (Blackcurrant) is part of the wider Difflam range of products known in Malaysia and Singapore for throat and mouth symptom relief. As with any lozenge intended for symptomatic relief, it addresses the discomfort associated with cough and throat irritation rather than treating an underlying infection, so customers with a persistent or worsening cough, or additional symptoms such as fever or breathing difficulty, should seek medical advice rather than relying on lozenges alone.
