Directions for Use
Shake the bottle well before use and measure the dose accurately using the measuring cup or oral syringe provided, not a household spoon. For best results, give the first dose 30 to 60 minutes before travel begins, and repeat doses as advised on the label or by a pharmacist or doctor for longer journeys. Always follow the age-appropriate dose and do not exceed the maximum daily amount stated on the packaging.
Dosage
Dosage is based on the child’s age and body weight, so parents should always refer to the dosing chart on the product packaging or consult a pharmacist before giving Novomin Syrup to a child. As a general guide, lower doses are used for younger children and doses are typically given every 6 to 8 hours as needed, up to the maximum stated frequency per day. Novomin Syrup is not recommended for infants under 2 years of age unless specifically directed by a doctor.
Shelf Life
Novomin 15mg/5ml Syrup typically has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton before use. Once opened, use the syrup within the period stated on the label, as its potency and quality may not be assured beyond that window.
Storage Instructions
Store Novomin Syrup below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use, and keep it out of reach and sight of children, as an accidental overdose in a child can be serious. Do not use the syrup if it has changed in colour, smell, or consistency.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use, and keep it out of reach and sight of children, as an accidental overdose in a child can be serious.

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 Novomin 15mg/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 Novomin 15mg/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.
