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.

Relevant Information
Aspira 5mg Chewable Tablet is intended as a long-term preventive treatment for school-aged children and works best when given regularly as part of an overall asthma or allergy management plan agreed with the child’s doctor. Caregivers should track symptom frequency and any side effects, especially changes in mood, sleep, or behaviour, and raise these at follow-up visits so treatment can be reviewed as needed.

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.
