Overview
HOE Foban 2% Ointment is an ointment with Fusidic Acid 2% declared as its active content. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 5g.
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
Apply a small amount of HOE Foban 2% Ointment to the affected area, usually 3 to 4 times daily or as directed on the packaging, after cleaning the area gently. Wash hands before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and the affected area may be left uncovered or lightly covered with a clean dressing if advised.
Dosage
A thin layer of ointment covering the affected area is generally sufficient for each application. Treatment is typically continued for 7 to 14 days depending on the size and response of the infection, and a pharmacist or doctor should be consulted if there is no improvement within this timeframe.
Shelf Life
HOE Foban 2% Ointment is generally valid 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 and discontinue use once expired.
Storage Instructions
Store HOE Foban 2% Ointment below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and out of reach of children.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about HOE Foban 2% Ointment before I buy it?

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.

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% 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 HOE Foban 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.
