Overview
Xepa Zaricort Cream is supplied as a cream, with Hydrocortisone and Miconazole nitrate. 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
Clean and dry the affected area before applying. Apply a thin layer of Xepa Zaricort Cream to the affected skin and the surrounding area, usually twice a day or as directed by a pharmacist or doctor. Continue treatment for the duration advised, even if symptoms improve early, to help ensure the fungal infection is properly cleared, but avoid prolonged use of the steroid component beyond what is recommended.
Dosage
For adults, apply a thin layer of Xepa Zaricort Cream to the affected area twice daily. The antifungal component is typically continued for the period advised by a pharmacist or doctor (commonly a few weeks) to fully clear the infection, while the hydrocortisone component is generally intended for shorter-term use to manage inflammation; do not exceed the duration recommended on the label or by a healthcare professional.

Xepa Zaricort Cream remains stable until the expiry date printed on the packaging when stored correctly and unopened. Do not use the product past its expiry date, and discard it if there are visible changes in colour, texture, or smell.

Relevant Information
Xepa Zaricort Cream combines an antifungal and a mild corticosteroid and is intended for short-to-medium term treatment of inflamed fungal skin infections. It is not intended for long-term or continuous use, and the steroid component in particular should not be used beyond the recommended duration. If symptoms persist, worsen, or recur after treatment, consult a pharmacist or doctor for further assessment, as prolonged self-treatment can mask an underlying condition that needs proper diagnosis.

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.
