Overview

HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment is an ointment with Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.064% declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment should only be used according to the amount, frequency, and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. A thin layer is applied to clean, affected skin only, gently rubbed in until absorbed, and should not be applied to unaffected surrounding skin. Wash your hands thoroughly after application unless your hands are the area being treated, and do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless specifically instructed by your doctor.

Dosage

The exact amount and frequency of HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment is determined individually by your prescribing doctor based on the site, extent, and severity of the skin condition, and is generally limited to once or twice daily for a short, defined course, often not exceeding two to four weeks of continuous use. Do not apply more than the prescribed amount, treat a larger area than advised, or continue beyond the recommended duration without medical review.

Shelf Life

HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment 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 the ointment if it has expired or if its colour or texture has changed.

Storage Instructions

Store HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and do not use it past its expiry date.

Drug / Food Interactions

Relevant Information

As a potent topical corticosteroid, HOE Beprosone 0.064% Ointment is generally prescribed for the shortest effective duration needed to control a flare-up of psoriasis, eczema, or another inflammatory skin condition, often followed by a step-down to a milder steroid or non-steroid maintenance treatment. Prolonged or excessive use, especially on thin-skinned areas like the face or skin folds, can lead to skin thinning, stretch marks, or rarely, absorption into the bloodstream affecting the body’s natural steroid balance, so regular follow-up with your doctor is important.
