Overview
Asmin 2mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Montelukast Sodium equivalent to Montelukast 2mg. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
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
Asmin 2mg Tablet should be given exactly as instructed by the child’s doctor, typically once daily in the evening, and the pharmacist’s specific instructions on how to prepare or administer the tablet to a very young child should be followed closely. Given the non-standard nature of this strength, caregivers should confirm the exact administration method (such as whether it may be dispersed in a small amount of liquid) with the dispensing pharmacist before first use.
Dosage
The dosing of Asmin 2mg Tablet should be set individually by the prescribing doctor for the specific young child, taking into account age, weight, and the severity of symptoms; because 2mg is a lower and less standard strength, parents should not assume dosing frequency based on other montelukast products and should rely only on the doctor’s explicit instructions. This medicine does not relieve a sudden asthma attack, so any rescue treatment prescribed separately should still be kept on hand.
Shelf Life
Asmin 2mg Tablet should be used within the shelf life printed on the packaging when stored correctly. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date shown on the box, and any unused or expired medicine should be disposed of safely.
Storage Instructions
Store Asmin 2mg Tablet at room temperature, away from direct light, heat, and moisture, in its original packaging until the next dose is due. Keep the medicine well out of the reach of children, taking particular care given that this product is intended for very young children who may be curious about small tablets.

Relevant Information
Asmin 2mg Tablet represents a lower-strength option within the Asmin brand family, and because this specific strength is less widely documented than the standard 4mg and 5mg montelukast products, parents and caregivers are strongly encouraged to confirm the exact indicated age range and dosing directly with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist rather than relying on general assumptions. Any change in the child’s symptoms, or lack of expected improvement, should be discussed at follow-up so the doctor can reassess the treatment plan.

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.
