Do I need a prescription to buy Zarin 2% Cream?

No. Zarin 2% Cream is a non-prescription product and can be ordered without a prescription. It is still dispensed by a registered pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

What does Zarin 2% Cream contain?

Zarin 2% Cream is a cream containing Miconazole nitrate 2% w/w. The full ingredient list is shown in the Composition or Ingredients section on this page and on the product packaging.

What pack sizes does Zarin 2% Cream come in?

It is supplied in a pack size of 15g. Choose the pack size you need from the options shown on this page before adding the item to your cart.

Why is there no information here about what Zarin 2% Cream 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 Zarin 2% Cream?

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 Zarin 2% Cream 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.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Zarin 2% Cream?

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 Zarin 2% Cream 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 Zarin 2% Cream 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.

Overview

Zarin 2% Cream is a cream with Miconazole nitrate 2% w/w declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

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

Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying. Apply a thin layer of Zarin 2% Cream over the infected skin and a small area of surrounding healthy skin, then rub it in gently. Use twice daily, morning and evening, unless a doctor or pharmacist recommends otherwise, and wash your hands after use (unless the hands are the area being treated). Continue treatment for the full recommended course even if the skin appears to have cleared earlier, to reduce the chance of the infection returning.

Dosage

For most fungal skin infections, apply Zarin 2% Cream to the affected area twice a day for 2 to 4 weeks; for skin candidiasis, treatment is usually continued for around 2 to 3 weeks. It is advisable to keep using the cream for a few additional days after the skin looks clear, to reduce the risk of recurrence. If there is no improvement after 4 weeks of consistent use, stop and consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Shelf Life

Zarin 2% Cream remains valid for use up to the expiry date printed on the tube and outer carton when stored correctly and left unopened. Check the expiry date before each use, and discard the cream if it has expired or shows any change in colour, texture, or smell after opening.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and avoid storing it in the bathroom or near a sink. Do not freeze. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

Side Effects

Skin irritation or redness at the application site
Itching or stinging sensation
Dry or peeling skin
Headache (for oral gel)
Nausea (rare for oral use)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity or allergy to miconazole, other imidazole antifungals, or any ingredient in the cream
Not for use in or near the eyes
Not intended for use inside the mouth or on mucous membranes
Use caution on broken, weeping, or heavily infected skin — check with a pharmacist or doctor first
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor or pharmacist before use
Not recommended for young infants without medical advice

Drug / Food Interactions

Topical miconazole is absorbed into the bloodstream in only very small amounts, so significant drug interactions are uncommon with normal use over small skin areas
Avoid applying other topical creams, ointments, or cosmetics to the same area at the same time unless advised by a pharmacist
If used over large areas or for extended periods, there is a theoretical risk of interaction with oral blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin — inform your pharmacist if you take these
No significant food interactions are expected with topical use

Quick Tips

Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before each application
Apply consistently twice daily for the full recommended course, even after symptoms improve
Wear loose, breathable clothing over the treated area to help the skin stay dry
Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or footwear while the infection is active
Wash hands before and after applying, unless treating the hands themselves
Consult a doctor or pharmacist if the rash worsens, spreads, or fails to improve after 4 weeks

Relevant Information

Fungal skin infections are common in Malaysia’s warm, humid climate, particularly in skin folds, between the toes, and areas that stay damp from sweating. Maintaining good hygiene, keeping skin dry, and choosing breathable fabrics can help prevent recurrence alongside treatment with Zarin 2% Cream. If the infection affects the scalp or nails, covers a large area of the body, or does not respond to a full course of treatment, further evaluation by a doctor may be needed, as oral antifungal therapy could be required.
