Why is there no information here about what HOE Foban 2% 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 HOE Foban 2% Cream?

Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about HOE Foban 2% 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 HOE Foban 2% Cream?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you.

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 HOE Foban 2% 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 HOE Foban 2% 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.

Overview

HOE Foban 2% Cream contains Fusidic Acid 2% and is presented as a cream. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 5g.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

HOE Foban 2% Cream should be used strictly as directed by your prescribing doctor. A thin layer is usually applied to the affected area of clean, dry skin, typically three to four times a day, gently rubbing it in unless a different frequency has been specified. Hands should be washed before and after application, and the area may be left uncovered or lightly covered with a dressing if advised.

Dosage

The dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of the skin infection and should be determined by your doctor; treatment is typically continued for around seven days, or as instructed, and should not be stopped early even if the skin appears to improve, to reduce the risk of the infection returning or bacterial resistance developing. Do not use for longer than prescribed without a follow-up review.

Shelf Life

HOE Foban 2% Cream remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube or carton when stored correctly and unopened; once opened, it should generally be used within the period advised by the manufacturer or your pharmacist, and the expiry date should always be checked before use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children and dispose of any unused or expired cream responsibly, rather than through household waste.

Side Effects

Skin irritation or redness at the application site
Itching or burning sensation
Rash or inflammation
Rarely, allergic reactions (e.g., swelling or difficulty breathing)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to fusidic acid or any other ingredient in the cream
Not intended for use in the eyes; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
Not recommended for untreated fungal or viral skin infections, as it will not be effective against these and may mask the correct diagnosis
Caution in extensive use over large areas of broken skin, where absorption may be increased

Drug / Food Interactions

Concurrent use with other topical antibiotics on the same area is generally not recommended without medical advice, to reduce the risk of resistance
Inform your doctor if you are using other topical treatments, including corticosteroid creams, on the same area
No significant food interactions are established with topical use
Prolonged or repeated courses without medical supervision may increase the risk of bacterial resistance to fusidic acid

Quick Tips

Apply only a thin layer — more cream does not speed up healing
Complete the full course as prescribed, even if the skin looks better after a few days
Wash your hands after each application unless the hands are the area being treated
Do not share this cream with other people, even if their skin condition looks similar
Return to your doctor if the infection does not improve within the expected timeframe or appears to spread
Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings unless specifically advised

Relevant Information

HOE Foban 2% Cream is intended for short-term treatment of a confirmed or suspected bacterial skin infection rather than routine or long-term skin care, and repeated or prolonged use without medical supervision should be avoided due to the risk of antibiotic resistance. Patients with recurring skin infections should discuss the underlying cause with their doctor rather than relying on repeated self-directed courses of this cream.
