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 Hovid Salbutamol 2mg/5ml Syrup 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 Hovid Salbutamol 2mg/5ml Syrup 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.

Overview

Hovid Salbutamol 2mg/5ml Syrup is a syrup with Salbutamol sulphate equivalent to salbutamol 2mg per 5ml declared as its active content. It is supplied in pack sizes of 100ml and 60ml.

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

Shake the bottle gently before use and measure the prescribed dose accurately using an oral dosing syringe or medicine cup, not a kitchen spoon. Give the syrup by mouth at the dose and frequency instructed by the doctor, usually three to four times a day, and complete the course of treatment as advised even if symptoms improve.

Dosage

Dosage is individualised and typically weight-based in children, while adults commonly take 2mg to 4mg (5ml to 10ml) three to four times daily, as prescribed. Do not increase the dose or frequency on your own if symptoms feel poorly controlled; contact your doctor instead, as this may indicate a need to review the overall asthma treatment plan.

Shelf Life

Hovid Salbutamol 2mg/5ml Syrup is generally stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; always check the expiry date on the bottle and discard any unused syrup after the manufacturer’s recommended in-use period once opened.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Keep this medicine out of the reach and sight of children at all times.

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to salbutamol or any ingredient in the syrup
Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias

Drug / Food Interactions

Beta-blocker medicines may reduce the bronchodilating effect of salbutamol and should generally be avoided in asthma patients unless advised otherwise by a doctor
Other stimulant-type bronchodilators or decongestants may increase the risk of tremor and rapid heartbeat when combined
Diuretics may increase the risk of low blood potassium when used together with salbutamol
Inform your doctor of all medicines, including over-the-counter cough and cold products, before starting this syrup

Quick Tips

Always measure the dose with an oral syringe or medicine cup, never a household spoon
Shake the bottle gently before each use if instructed on the label
Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency, even if symptoms feel poorly controlled
Seek urgent medical attention if breathlessness worsens or the syrup no longer helps
Keep a record of how often doses are needed and share this with your doctor at follow-up

Relevant Information

Oral salbutamol syrup is supplied on DoctorOnCall as a prescription medicine, particularly given its common use in children where accurate weight-based dosing and monitoring by a doctor are important for safety. Frequent or increasing need for this syrup can signal that asthma is not well controlled and should prompt earlier medical review rather than self-adjustment of the dose.
