Why is there no information here about what Efficort 0.127% Lipo 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 Efficort 0.127% Lipo Cream?

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Efficort 0.127% Lipo 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 Efficort 0.127% Lipo 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 Efficort 0.127% Lipo 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 Efficort 0.127% Lipo 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.

Directions for Use

Efficort 0.127% Lipo Cream should only be used according to the directions and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin, usually once or twice daily as directed, gently smoothing it in until absorbed. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid applying it to broken or infected skin unless specifically directed.

Dosage

The amount and duration of use for Efficort 0.127% Lipo Cream will be determined by your doctor based on the location, extent, and severity of your skin condition, as well as your age. Although it is a lower-potency corticosteroid suitable for more sensitive areas, prolonged or excessive use should still be avoided, and your doctor will advise on the maximum duration of continuous treatment appropriate for you.

Shelf Life

Efficort 0.127% Lipo Cream is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube or carton before use, and do not use it if the date has passed.

Relevant Information

Efficort 0.127% Lipo Cream is often prescribed for eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions in areas of thinner or more delicate skin, such as on the face or in children, because hydrocortisone has a lower potency than many other topical corticosteroids. Its lipophilic cream base is designed to be well tolerated and moisturising while still delivering effective anti-inflammatory action. As with all topical corticosteroids, your doctor will typically review your progress and may suggest switching to a moisturiser-only regimen once symptoms are under control.
