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.

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, 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

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.
