Directions for Use
Diamicron MR 60mg Tablet is taken once daily, usually with breakfast, and should be swallowed whole with a glass of water rather than chewed or crushed, as this could disrupt the modified-release mechanism. If a dose is missed, do not double the next dose; instead, take your next dose at the usual time and consult your doctor if you are unsure.
Dosage
The dosage of Diamicron MR 60mg Tablet is individualised by your doctor based on your blood glucose response, and treatment is often started at a lower dose before being adjusted gradually if needed, as the tablet can be halved along its score line under a doctor’s guidance for finer dose adjustment. Do not change your dose on your own, and always take it once daily with breakfast as instructed.
Shelf Life
Diamicron MR 60mg Tablet has a shelf life of approximately 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and left unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use and do not use the tablets beyond this date.
Storage Instructions
Store Diamicron MR 60mg Tablet below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original packaging until ready for use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.

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 Diamicron MR 60mg 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 Diamicron MR 60mg 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.
