Why is there no information here about what HOE Foban Hydro Ointment 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 Ointment?

Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about HOE Foban Hydro Ointment 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 Hydro Ointment?

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 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 Hydro 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.

Overview

HOE Foban Hydro Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Fusidic Acid 2%. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 5g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of HOE Foban Hydro Ointment, usually two to three times daily or as advised by a pharmacist or doctor, gently rubbing it in until absorbed. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid covering the area with an airtight dressing unless directed otherwise.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of HOE Foban Hydro Ointment to the affected skin area two to three times a day for up to 7 days, or as directed by a pharmacist or doctor. Treatment is generally kept short-term due to the corticosteroid component; if the condition has not improved after a week, seek further medical advice.

Shelf Life

Use HOE Foban Hydro Ointment 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 any change in colour, texture, or 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 and do not use if the ointment appears separated or discoloured.

Drug / Food Interactions

Do not use an occlusive (airtight) dressing over the treated area unless told to by a doctor

A pharmacist can help confirm this product is appropriate for the specific skin condition before purchase.
