Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Hovid Glimicron 80mg Tablet before I buy it?

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Hovid Glimicron 80mg Tablet?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you.

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 Glimicron 80mg Tablet 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 Glimicron 80mg Tablet 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.

Directions for Use

Hovid Glimicron tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, to help reduce the risk of low blood sugar and align the medicine’s effect with rising glucose levels after eating.

Dosage

The starting adult dose is usually 40-80mg once daily, which your doctor may gradually increase based on blood glucose response, up to a maximum daily dose as advised, taken once daily or split according to your doctor’s instructions for higher doses. Dosing must be individualised and reviewed regularly through blood glucose monitoring and periodic HbA1c testing.

Drug / Food Interactions

Relevant Information

Hovid Glimicron works best as part of a broader diabetes care plan that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and consistent blood glucose monitoring, rather than as a standalone fix. Because it can cause hypoglycaemia, patients should be familiar with the early warning signs and know how to respond promptly, and should have their treatment reviewed periodically by their doctor to ensure it remains effective and safe.
