Overview
Univate 0.05% Ointment is supplied as an ointment, with Clobetasol propionate 0.05% w/w. 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 Univate Ointment to the affected skin area only, exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily. Gently rub in until absorbed, wash your hands after application unless the hands are the treated area, and do not apply to the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as these areas are more sensitive to steroid side effects.
Dosage
Use the smallest amount needed to cover the affected area thinly, for the shortest duration advised by your doctor, typically not exceeding 2 consecutive weeks without medical review. This medicine requires a valid prescription obtained through an online consultation with a doctor via DoctorOnCall, and the treated area and duration must not be extended without your doctor’s confirmation.
Shelf Life
Univate 0.05% Ointment is generally stable for up to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and carton before use and do not use beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped when not in use and out of reach of children.
Side Effects
- Burning, stinging or irritation at the application site
- Dry or cracked skin
- Skin thinning (with prolonged use)
- Changes in skin color
- Stretch marks
- Acne or increased hair growth on treated areas
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to clobetasol propionate or other corticosteroids
- Untreated bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections at the site of application
- Acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis
- Not for use on the face, groin, or underarms unless specifically directed by a doctor
- Not for long-term continuous use without regular medical review
- Caution in children, where use is generally avoided unless specifically prescribed due to greater risk of systemic absorption
Drug / Food Interactions
- Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids on the same area should be avoided unless directed by a doctor, as this increases the risk of skin thinning and systemic side effects
- Applying occlusive dressings over treated skin can significantly increase absorption and should only be done if instructed by your doctor
- No significant food interactions are expected with topical use
Quick Tips
- Use only on the area and for the duration prescribed by your doctor — do not use it as a routine daily moisturiser
- Avoid applying to broken, infected, or weeping skin unless your doctor has specifically advised this
- Do not bandage or cover the treated area tightly unless instructed, as this increases absorption
- Attend follow-up reviews so your doctor can assess skin response and check for signs of thinning or other steroid-related changes
- Never share this medicine with others, even if they have similar-looking skin symptoms

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Univate 0.05% Ointment 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.
How should I store Univate 0.05% Ointment?
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped when not in use and out of reach of children. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Univate 0.05% Ointment?
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 Univate 0.05% Ointment 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 Univate 0.05% Ointment 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.

Relevant Information
Clobetasol propionate is classified among the most potent topical corticosteroids available and is reserved for short-term treatment of severe, steroid-responsive skin conditions that have not responded to weaker treatments. Because of the higher risk of skin thinning and other side effects with this potency class, DoctorOnCall dispenses Univate Ointment only after a doctor’s assessment via online consultation, with follow-up recommended to ensure safe, effective use for patients in Malaysia and Singapore.
