Key Information
What is Hovid Eretaf and who is it for?
- Hovid Eretaf contains tadalafil 20mg and is supplied as orodispersible films, in a pack of 4. It is a prescription-only medicine (POM).
- Tadalafil belongs to the class of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It is supplied as a thin film that dissolves on the tongue.
- In Malaysia, it is available only with a valid prescription from a registered doctor.
- This medicine is not meant for use by women. It should be taken under medical supervision.
Is this strength right for me?
- Hovid Eretaf is available in one strength only. Your doctor will confirm whether it suits you, based on your health, other medicines and individual response.
- The usual dose is one film taken as needed. Do not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
- The dose may need to be adjusted in people with mild to moderate liver impairment, and use is not recommended in severe liver disease. Your doctor will assess this.
- Do not change your dose or how often you take it without speaking to your doctor, as higher doses may increase the risk of side effects.
Delivery, packaging and ordering
- Choose your product and complete an online consultation. Orders are processed only after a doctor assesses your suitability and issues a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.
- Orders placed outside consultation hours may be queued for review on the next working day.
- The product page lists fast delivery and discreet packaging. Check the page for current delivery options.
- Each pack carries its MAL registration number from the Ministry of Health Malaysia. You can verify it through the relevant Ministry of Health resources.
Side effects, safety and when to seek help
- Common side effects include headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing and nasal congestion. You should not drive if you feel dizzy while taking this medicine.
- Nitrates and nitric oxide donors must never be combined with tadalafil, because of the risk of severe, life-threatening low blood pressure.
- It is not suitable if you are allergic to tadalafil or any ingredient in the film. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole and ritonavir, can increase tadalafil levels and side effects. Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take.
- Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it can increase side effects. Seek immediate medical attention for chest pain, fainting, sudden loss of vision or hearing, an erection lasting more than 4 hours, or any severe or unexpected reaction.
How to take your Hovid Eretaf
Confirm with your doctor that Hovid Eretaf and the prescribed strength are suitable for you. Tell them about all medicines you take and any health conditions you have, including liver problems. Never use it with nitrates, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Follow your doctor’s instructions on how and when to take it. The usual dose is one film taken as needed, and you should not take more than one dose in 24 hours.
Make sure your hands are clean and dry. Place the film on your tongue and let it dissolve naturally. No water is needed. You can take it on an empty stomach or with a meal.
Never take more than the prescribed dose. Avoid alcohol. Seek immediate medical attention for chest pain, fainting, sudden loss of vision or hearing, an erection lasting more than 4 hours, or any severe or unexpected reaction.

Customers in Malaysia can complete an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who decides whether a prescription is appropriate, or upload a valid prescription already issued by their own doctor.
Orders going to Singapore are dispatched from Malaysia as an international delivery, so you need to hold a valid prescription or doctor’s letter for the medicine. Check the consultation and prescription upload options shown at checkout for your delivery address before placing the order.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
