Do I need a prescription to buy Hovid Betasone Cream?

What does Hovid Betasone Cream contain?

What pack sizes does Hovid Betasone Cream come in?

It is supplied in a pack size of 15g. Choose the pack size you need from the options shown on this page before adding the item to your cart.

Why is there no information here about what Hovid Betasone 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 Hovid Betasone Cream?

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 Hovid Betasone 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 Hovid Betasone 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 Hovid Betasone 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 Hovid Betasone 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

Hovid Betasone Cream is supplied as a cream, with Betamethasone Valerate. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

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

Apply a thin layer of Hovid Betasone Cream to the affected area of skin as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily, and gently rub it in until it is fully absorbed. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and avoid applying the cream to broken skin, the face, groin, or armpits unless your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so.

Dosage

The dosage and duration of Hovid Betasone Cream should be determined by your prescribing doctor based on the severity and location of your skin condition; treatment courses for potent topical steroids are usually kept as short as possible, often limited to a few days to a few weeks, to reduce the risk of skin thinning and other steroid-related side effects.

Shelf Life

Hovid Betasone Cream should be used within the manufacturer’s stated expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging, and should not be used once this date has passed. Once opened, use within the period recommended on the packaging or by your pharmacist, as the cream’s stability may reduce over time after first use.

Storage Instructions

Store Hovid Betasone Cream below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children and pets, and do not store it in the bathroom where humidity is high.

Side Effects

Skin thinning (when used topically)
Irritation or burning at application site
Increased appetite and weight gain
Mood changes or difficulty sleeping
Elevated blood sugar levels
Stomach upset or bloating
Delayed wound healing
Increased risk of infections

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to betamethasone valerate or any ingredient in the cream
Untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections at the application site
Rosacea or perioral dermatitis
Acne vulgaris (unless specifically directed by a doctor)
Broken or ulcerated skin, unless advised otherwise by a doctor
Use on the face, groin, or armpits for prolonged periods without medical supervision

Drug / Food Interactions

No clinically significant food interactions have been established for topical betamethasone valerate
Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroid products may increase the risk of skin thinning and should be avoided unless directed by a doctor
Occlusive dressings applied over the cream can increase systemic absorption and the risk of side effects
Use with other topical medicines on the same area should be spaced out or discussed with your doctor or pharmacist

Quick Tips

Apply only a thin layer; more cream does not improve results and increases side effect risk
Use exactly as directed by your doctor and avoid using for longer than prescribed
Do not bandage or cover the treated area tightly unless instructed, as this increases absorption
Avoid applying to the face unless your doctor has specifically prescribed it for that area
Seek medical advice if your skin condition does not improve or worsens after a week of treatment

Relevant Information

Hovid Betasone Cream is intended for short-term management of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions under medical supervision.
