Overview
Xepa Bena Expectorant is a healthcare product with Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, combined with expectorant ingredients (see the product packaging for the exact formulation) declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 120ml.
This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.
An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.
Directions for Use
Take Xepa Bena Expectorant by mouth using the measuring cup or spoon supplied with the pack, shaking the bottle well before each use, and space doses evenly through the day as directed on the label; because it can cause drowsiness, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
Dosage
Dosing is age-based and should follow the directions on the product label or your pharmacist’s advice; adults and older children are generally given a higher dose than young children, taken several times a day as needed for cough with phlegm, up to the maximum stated on the packaging. This expectorant is not generally recommended for very young children without a doctor’s or pharmacist’s specific advice.
Shelf Life
Use Xepa Bena Expectorant before the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton, and discard any unused syrup after the in-use period stated on the label once opened.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the cap tightly closed between doses, and store out of the sight and reach of children.

- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal discomfort

Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to diphenhydramine or other ingredients in this expectorant

- Severe liver disease, unless a doctor advises otherwise
Drug / Food Interactions
- Alcohol and other sedating medicines — increased drowsiness
- Other antihistamine- or diphenhydramine-containing cold, flu, allergy, or sleep products — risk of double-dosing on the same active ingredient
- MAOI antidepressants — may intensify anticholinergic and sedative effects
Quick Tips
- Use for a cough with phlegm rather than a purely dry, tickly cough
- Check other cold, flu, allergy, or sleep products you’re taking to avoid duplicating diphenhydramine
- Take care if you need to drive or operate machinery, as it can cause drowsiness
- Stay well hydrated to support the expectorant action
- Use the measuring cup or spoon provided for an accurate dose
- See a doctor if the cough lasts more than a week, or is accompanied by fever, chest pain, or breathlessness

Why is there no information here about what Xepa Bena Expectorant is for?
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.
How should I use Xepa Bena Expectorant?
Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Xepa Bena Expectorant 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 Xepa Bena Expectorant?
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, keep the cap tightly closed between doses, and store out of the sight and 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 Xepa Bena Expectorant?
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.

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 Xepa Bena Expectorant 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 Xepa Bena Expectorant 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.
