Overview
Premarin 0.625% Vaginal Cream is supplied as a cream, with Conjugated Estrogens 0.625%. It is supplied in a pack size of 14g.
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
Use Premarin Vaginal Cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically inserted into the vagina using the applicator provided, often at bedtime. Wash your hands before and after use, and wash the applicator with mild soap and water after each use. Your doctor will usually prescribe a higher-frequency regimen for the first few weeks, followed by a reduced maintenance frequency; do not change how often you apply it without your doctor’s advice.
Dosage
The amount and frequency of application is individualised by your doctor based on your symptoms and response to treatment, and is generally kept to the lowest effective amount used for the shortest duration needed to control symptoms. Do not increase the dose or frequency on your own. If you miss an application, apply it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the next scheduled application.
Shelf Life
Premarin Vaginal Cream remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube and carton when stored correctly and unopened. Once opened, use within the period advised by your pharmacist, and do not use beyond the labelled expiry date.

Store below 30°C (or as stated on the packaging) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped when not in use, and keep it out of the reach and sight of children.

Relevant Information
Premarin 0.625% Vaginal Cream is a local estrogen treatment mainly for vaginal dryness and atrophy, which is different from Premarin oral tablets that treat menopausal symptoms systemically throughout the body; the two forms are not interchangeable and your doctor will advise which is appropriate for your symptoms. Even though absorption into the bloodstream is generally lower with the cream, the same class of precautions for estrogen therapy still applies, so ongoing doctor review is recommended, especially for long-term use.

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.
