Overview

Aspira 5mg Chewable Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Montelukast Sodium equivalent to Montelukast 5mg. It is supplied in a pack size of 28s.

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

Aspira 5mg Chewable Tablet is usually given once daily in the evening, chewed thoroughly rather than swallowed whole, and can be taken with or without food as directed by the child’s doctor. It should be given consistently every day, even during periods when the child has no symptoms, unless the doctor advises stopping or changing the treatment.

Dosage

The 5mg chewable strength is formulated specifically for children in the doctor-specified age range, generally around 6 to 14 years, and the exact dose and duration of treatment should follow the prescribing doctor’s instructions precisely. This medicine does not provide immediate relief for an asthma attack, so a fast-acting reliever inhaler should still be kept available as directed.

Shelf Life

Aspira 5mg Chewable Tablet should be used within the shelf life printed on the packaging when stored under the recommended conditions. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date shown on the box, and dispose of any expired or unused medicine safely.

Storage Instructions

Store Aspira 5mg Chewable Tablet at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, in its original packaging. Because it is chewable and may be flavoured, keep it well out of the reach of children to prevent accidental overuse, as it could be mistaken for a sweet.

Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Stomach discomfort or pain
  • Cough
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Sore throat
  • Diarrhoea

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to montelukast or any ingredient in the chewable tablet
  • Not suitable as a rescue treatment for a sudden asthma attack or status asthmaticus

  • Use only under medical guidance if the child has phenylketonuria or liver impairment, depending on the tablet’s specific formulation

Drug / Food Interactions

  • May interact with strong enzyme-inducing medicines such as phenobarbital or rifampicin, which can reduce montelukast’s effectiveness
  • Inform the doctor of all other medicines the child is taking, including other asthma or allergy treatments
  • Can be taken with or without food, with no specific dietary restriction required
  • Do not combine with other leukotriene receptor antagonists unless specifically directed by the doctor

Quick Tips

  • Have the child chew the tablet thoroughly rather than swallowing it whole
  • Give the dose at the same time each evening to build a consistent routine
  • Continue giving the medicine daily even when the child has no symptoms, unless the doctor says to stop
  • Keep a reliever inhaler available at all times, since this medicine does not treat sudden attacks
  • Watch for and report any unusual mood or behaviour changes to the doctor
