Why is there no information here about what Germacid 2% 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 Germacid 2% 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 Germacid 2% 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 Germacid 2% 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 Germacid 2% 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 Germacid 2% 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

Germacid 2% Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Sodium Fusidate (Fusidic Acid) 2%. It is supplied in a pack size of 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

Clean the affected area of skin gently and pat dry, then apply a thin layer of Germacid 2% Ointment directly to the infected area using a clean finger or cotton swab. The area can be covered with a light dressing if needed to protect clothing, unless your pharmacist advises otherwise. Wash your hands before and after application, and avoid contact with the eyes.

Dosage

Germacid 2% Ointment is usually applied to the affected area two to three times a day for up to seven days, or as directed on the product packaging. If there is no improvement after this period, or if the infection worsens, stop using the ointment and consult a doctor or pharmacist rather than continuing use for a longer period.

Shelf Life

Germacid 2% Ointment is generally stable for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube or carton before use, and discard the product once opened for longer than the period stated on the packaging.

Storage Instructions

Store Germacid 2% Ointment at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use, and keep out of reach of children.

Avoid applying other topical antibiotic or antiseptic creams to the same area at the same time unless advised by a doctor or pharmacist

Quick Tips

Apply Germacid 2% Ointment only to the affected area, not to large areas of healthy skin
Complete the full course as directed, even if the skin looks better, to reduce the risk of the infection returning
Avoid sharing towels or personal items while the infection is active to prevent spreading it to others

Relevant Information

Germacid 2% Ointment is intended for short-term use on localised, minor bacterial skin infections, and is not a treatment for viral or fungal skin conditions. Overuse or prolonged use of topical antibiotics like fusidic acid can contribute to antibiotic resistance, so it should be used strictly according to the directions and not for longer than necessary. Good wound hygiene, such as keeping the area clean and covered where appropriate, supports the ointment’s antibacterial action and helps the skin heal.
