Overview
Ataline 2.5mg Tablet is a tablet with Terbutaline Sulfate 2.5mg declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
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
Take Ataline 2.5mg Tablet by mouth exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually with a glass of water and without crushing or chewing unless instructed otherwise. It may be taken with or without food, though taking it consistently at the same times each day helps maintain steady symptom control; do not stop or change the dose without consulting your doctor first.
Dosage
The dose is individualized by the prescribing doctor based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of symptoms, and typically starts at a low dose that may be adjusted over time. Patients should never exceed the prescribed frequency or amount, as doing so increases the risk of side effects such as tremor and rapid heartbeat, and should always follow their doctor’s specific instructions.
Shelf Life
Ataline 2.5mg Tablet should be used before the expiry date printed on the packaging, when stored under the recommended conditions. Do not use tablets beyond their stated shelf life, and dispose of any expired or unused medicine safely rather than sharing it with others.

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.
