Prime Asmin Syrup

Prime Asmin Syrup contains salbutamol, a short-acting beta-2 agonist bronchodilator used to relieve wheezing, chest tightness, and breathing difficulty caused by reversible airway obstruction in conditions such as asthma and other conditions involving bronchospasm. The oral syrup form is commonly used for patients, including children, who may find an inhaler difficult to use correctly.

Prime Asmin Syrup is a prescription medicine in Malaysia. DoctorOnCall requires an online medical consultation so a doctor can confirm the diagnosis, determine an appropriate weight- or age-based dose, and review any heart or thyroid conditions before a prescription is issued.

Salbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways, causing the muscles to relax and the airways to widen (bronchodilation). This relieves the narrowing of the airways that causes wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness during an asthma flare or episode of bronchospasm.

Give or take Prime Asmin Syrup exactly as prescribed by your doctor, measuring each dose accurately with an oral syringe or measuring cup rather than a household spoon. It can be taken with or without food, and doses are generally spaced evenly through the day as directed.

The dose of Prime Asmin Syrup is determined by your doctor based on age, body weight, and the severity of symptoms, and is typically given two to three times daily. Do not increase the dose or frequency without medical advice, and seek urgent medical attention if breathing difficulty is severe or not relieved by the prescribed dose.

Prime Asmin Syrup remains stable until the expiry date printed on the bottle when stored correctly, and once opened should generally be used within the period stated by the manufacturer. Do not use the syrup after the expiry date or recommended in-use period.

Store Prime Asmin Syrup below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not store in the bathroom or near a sink where humidity is high.

• Known hypersensitivity to salbutamol or other beta-2 agonists
• Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
• Significant, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias
• Use with caution in patients with underlying heart disease or high blood pressure
• Should not be used as the sole treatment for severe or worsening asthma without medical review

• Beta-blocker medicines, including some eye drops for glaucoma, can reduce the effectiveness of salbutamol
• Other sympathomimetic medicines may increase the risk of heart-related side effects when combined
• Diuretics and corticosteroids taken together with salbutamol may increase the risk of low blood potassium
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular side effects
• Xanthine derivatives such as theophylline may increase the risk of side effects when combined

• Measure each dose accurately using an oral syringe or measuring cup provided
• Give doses at evenly spaced times through the day as directed by your doctor
• Keep a reliever medicine available at all times if your doctor has prescribed one for flare-ups
• Seek urgent medical attention if breathing difficulty is severe, rapidly worsening, or not relieved by treatment
• Inform your doctor if you notice a fast heartbeat, palpitations, or worsening tremor

Prime Asmin Syrup helps relieve acute symptoms of airway narrowing but does not treat the underlying inflammation in conditions like asthma, so your doctor at DoctorOnCall may also prescribe other long-term control medicines and will review your asthma management plan periodically.
