Overview
Kanolone Oral Base Paste is supplied as a healthcare product, with Triamcinolone Acetonide 0.1% w/w. It is supplied in a pack size of 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
Gently pat the affected area dry with a clean tissue, then apply a thin layer of the paste directly onto the ulcer or lesion using a clean fingertip or a cotton bud, pressing lightly for a few seconds until a smooth, slippery film forms over the area. Use after meals and again before bedtime for the best contact time, and avoid rubbing the paste in or eating, drinking, or rinsing the mouth for about 30 minutes after application.
Dosage
Apply a small, thin layer of paste to each affected ulcer 2 to 3 times a day, preferably after meals and at bedtime, without exceeding the frequency stated on the packaging or by your pharmacist. If there is no improvement after 7 days of regular use, or if the ulcer worsens, stop use and consult a doctor or dentist.
Shelf Life
When stored correctly and unopened, Kanolone Oral Base Paste is typically stable for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and carton before use, and discard the product if it has expired or if its colour, texture, or smell has changed.

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.
