Overview

Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Salbutamol (as sulfate) 4mg, controlled-release – the active ingredient. It is supplied in a pack size of 56s.

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

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as doing so would interfere with the controlled-release mechanism. It is usually taken twice daily (approximately every 12 hours) as prescribed, with or without food.

Dosage

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, commonly in the range of 4-8mg taken twice daily depending on individual response, and this should be followed exactly. This tablet is intended for background, maintenance control of airway symptoms rather than rapid relief, so it should not be relied upon in place of a fast-acting reliever inhaler for sudden symptoms.

Shelf Life

Unopened and stored correctly, Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the packaging. Do not use the tablets after this date, and check with your pharmacist if the blister packaging appears damaged.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original packaging. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times.

Side Effects

  • Shakiness or tremors
  • Headache
  • Increased heart rate
  • Nervousness or restlessness
  • Muscle cramps
  • Dry mouth or throat irritation

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to salbutamol
  • Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias or unstable ischaemic heart disease, requiring caution and doctor’s assessment
  • Hyperthyroidism, requiring caution and monitoring
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure, requiring caution and monitoring
  • Diabetes, as salbutamol may cause a mild rise in blood glucose levels

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other sympathomimetic medicines — may increase heart-related side effects when combined
  • Beta-blockers — can reduce the effectiveness of salbutamol and should generally be avoided together without medical advice
  • Diuretics and corticosteroids — may worsen the drop in blood potassium levels associated with salbutamol, particularly at higher doses
  • MAOIs and tricyclic antidepressants — may increase cardiovascular side effects when combined with salbutamol

Quick Tips

  • Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet — swallow it whole
  • Continue to carry a fast-acting reliever inhaler for sudden symptoms, as this tablet is not a rescue treatment
  • Take it at consistent times, roughly 12 hours apart, for steady maintenance control
  • Report increased use of your reliever inhaler or worsening symptoms to your doctor promptly
  • Report noticeable tremor, palpitations, or a racing heartbeat to your doctor

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

Relevant Information

As a prescription-only, longer-acting oral bronchodilator, Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet should be used under regular doctor review, particularly for people with heart conditions, thyroid disorders, or diabetes. It is intended for maintenance control of airway symptoms and is not a substitute for a fast-acting reliever inhaler during an acute asthma attack, which requires prompt treatment and, if severe, emergency medical care.
