Overview
HOE Foban Hydro 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
Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of HOE Foban Hydro Cream, usually two to three times daily or as advised by a pharmacist or doctor, gently massaging it in until absorbed. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid using an airtight dressing over the area unless directed otherwise.
Dosage
Apply a thin layer of HOE Foban Hydro Cream to the affected skin two to three times a day for up to 7 days, or as directed by a pharmacist or doctor. As with all corticosteroid-containing products, treatment is generally kept short; seek further medical advice if the condition has not improved after a week.
Shelf Life
Use HOE Foban Hydro Cream before the expiry date printed on the tube and carton. Discard the product once opened for longer than the manufacturer’s recommended period, or if it shows separation, discolouration, or an unusual smell.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children.

- 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, hydrocortisone, or any cream component
- Untreated primary skin infections that are viral (e.g. herpes, chickenpox) or fungal in nature
- Tuberculosis or syphilis affecting the skin
- Acne vulgaris or rosacea
- Use on the eyes or open wounds unless directed by a doctor
Drug / Food Interactions
- Other topical corticosteroids used concurrently on the same area, increasing risk of skin thinning
- Other topical antibiotics, which may not provide additional benefit and could promote resistance
- Extended occlusive dressings, which increase systemic absorption of both components
Quick Tips
- Use for the shortest duration needed to control symptoms, typically no more than 7 days
- Well suited to moist, weeping, or larger areas of affected skin compared with the ointment form
- Do not use an occlusive (airtight) dressing over the treated area unless told to by a doctor
- Seek medical advice if the infection worsens or does not improve within a week
- Consult a pharmacist before use in young children or during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Why is there no information here about what HOE Foban Hydro 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 Hydro 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 Hydro 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.
How should I store HOE Foban Hydro Cream?
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using HOE Foban Hydro Cream?
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 HOE Foban Hydro 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 Hydro 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.

Relevant Information
The cream form of the Foban Hydro combination is often chosen over the ointment when the skin is moist, weeping, or when a lighter, quicker-absorbing texture is preferred, such as on larger body areas or in warmer, humid climates. Like the ointment version, it is intended for short, targeted courses rather than continuous long-term use.
