Overview
Naxpar Salbutamol 2mg/5ml Oral Solution is a solution with Salbutamol sulfate, equivalent to salbutamol 2mg per 5ml declared as its active content. It is supplied in a pack size of 90ml.
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 Naxpar Oral Solution exactly as prescribed by your doctor, using the measuring device (oral syringe or measuring cup) provided or recommended by your pharmacist rather than a regular household spoon, to ensure an accurate dose. It can generally be taken with or without food. Shake the bottle if instructed on the label before measuring each dose, and do not exceed the frequency or amount prescribed even if symptoms persist, as this increases the risk of side effects without necessarily improving symptom control.
Dosage
Dosage varies by age and clinical response: adults typically take 2 to 4mg (5 to 10ml) three to four times daily, while children’s doses are calculated based on age and body weight by the prescribing doctor, generally as lower volumes given three times daily. Always use the exact dose and schedule specified in your prescription rather than a standard adult or general reference dose, and do not give this medicine to children without a doctor’s specific instruction.
Shelf Life
Use Naxpar Oral Solution before the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton. Once opened, follow the in-use shelf life stated on the packaging or by your pharmacist, and discard any solution that has changed in colour, clarity, or smell.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C to 30°C (or as specified on the packaging), in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach and sight of children.
Side Effects
Shakiness or tremors
Headache
Increased heart rate
Nervousness or restlessness
Muscle cramps
Dry mouth or throat irritation
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to salbutamol or any ingredient in the formulation
Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias or certain unstable heart conditions, which should be discussed with your doctor before use
Caution required in hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled diabetes, or a history of seizures, as salbutamol can affect these conditions
Should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for severe or worsening asthma attacks without appropriate emergency care
Not for use without medical assessment in infants, as dosing and safety must be individually determined
Drug / Food Interactions
Beta-blocker medicines (used for blood pressure or heart conditions) may reduce the effectiveness of salbutamol and salbutamol may reduce the effect of beta-blockers — inform your doctor if you take any beta-blocker
Other stimulant-type medicines, certain antidepressants (MAOIs, tricyclics), and some decongestants may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects when combined with salbutamol
Diuretics (water tablets) used together with salbutamol may increase the risk of low blood potassium levels
No specific food restrictions are required, but excessive caffeine may add to jitteriness or palpitations in some individuals
Quick Tips
Always measure your dose with the provided oral syringe or measuring cup, not a kitchen spoon
Take doses at evenly spaced intervals as prescribed rather than doubling up if a dose is missed
Seek urgent medical attention if breathing difficulty is severe, does not improve, or is accompanied by blue lips, chest pain, or extreme drowsiness
Keep track of how often you need the medicine — needing it more frequently than prescribed may mean your asthma or breathing condition needs medical review
Inform your doctor of all other medicines, including over-the-counter products, you are taking
Do not stop or change your regular preventer/controller inhaler (if prescribed separately) without your doctor’s advice, even while using this solution for symptom relief
This medicine should only be used during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor after careful evaluation.

Relevant Information
Naxpar Oral Solution is generally used for symptom relief during episodes of bronchospasm and is often prescribed alongside a regular controller medicine for those with persistent asthma; it is not typically intended to replace long-term asthma control treatment. If you find you need this medicine more often than your doctor prescribed, or your breathing symptoms are getting worse despite using it, seek medical review promptly, as this may indicate your underlying condition needs reassessment or a change in treatment plan. Chest pain not relieved by this medication, or severe breathing difficulty, requires emergency medical attention rather than repeated dosing at home.

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.
