Why is there no information here about what Cataflam 50mg Tablet is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Cataflam 50mg Tablet?

Use it exactly as stated on the pack label, without changing the amount or how often you use it. If anything on the label is unclear, check with a pharmacist before the first use, and read the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Cataflam 50mg Tablet before I buy it?

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Cataflam 50mg Tablet?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.

How long will delivery take?

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.

What payment methods can I use?

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.

Can Cataflam 50mg Tablet be delivered to Singapore?

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.

Is Cataflam 50mg Tablet registered with the authorities?

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.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

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.

Directions for Use

Cataflam 50mg Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically swallowed whole with a full glass of water, and preferably taken with or after food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. Do not crush or chew the tablet, and do not take more than the prescribed dose or for longer than advised, even if pain persists.

Dosage

The usual adult dose is 50mg two to three times a day, adjusted by the prescribing doctor based on the condition being treated, severity of symptoms, and individual risk factors, with a typical maximum of 150mg per day. Doses and duration should always follow the doctor’s specific instructions rather than a standard reference range, and treatment is generally kept as short as possible at the lowest effective dose.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use. Keep out of reach and sight of children at all times.

Relevant Information

Because Cataflam 50mg Tablet is an NSAID with a fast onset of action, it requires a doctor’s assessment and ongoing monitoring, particularly for patients with cardiovascular disease, kidney impairment, or a history of stomach ulcers, as these conditions increase the risk of serious complications with NSAID use. Patients should disclose all existing medical conditions and medicines during their online consultation so the doctor can determine whether Cataflam is an appropriate and safe choice.
