Overview
Salcodyl Syrup contains Salbutamol (as sulfate) – the active ingredient and is presented as a syrup. It is supplied in a pack size of 100ml.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Take Salcodyl Syrup exactly as prescribed by your doctor, using the measuring cup or oral syringe provided rather than a household spoon, to ensure an accurate dose. It may be taken with or without food, at the intervals your doctor has specified.
Dosage
Your doctor will determine the dose based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of symptoms; this must be followed exactly and never exceeded. Oral salbutamol has a slower onset than inhaled forms, so it is generally used for ongoing symptom control rather than rapid relief of a severe asthma attack, which requires emergency treatment.
Shelf Life
Unopened and stored correctly, Salcodyl Syrup is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton. Once opened, use within the period stated on the label, and do not use the syrup after its expiry date.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed between doses. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times.
Side Effects
- Shakiness or tremors
- Headache
- Increased heart rate
- Nervousness or restlessness

Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to salbutamol
- Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias or unstable ischaemic heart disease, requiring caution and doctor’s assessment
- Hyperthyroidism, requiring caution and monitoring
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure, requiring caution and monitoring
- Diabetes, as salbutamol may cause a mild rise in blood glucose levels
Drug / Food Interactions
- Other sympathomimetic medicines — may increase heart-related side effects when combined
- Beta-blockers — can reduce the effectiveness of salbutamol and should generally be avoided together without medical advice
- Diuretics and corticosteroids — may worsen the drop in blood potassium levels associated with salbutamol, particularly at higher doses
- MAOIs and tricyclic antidepressants — may increase cardiovascular side effects when combined with salbutamol
Quick Tips
- Seek emergency medical care if breathing difficulty is severe or not relieved as expected
- Do not exceed the prescribed dose even if symptoms persist — contact your doctor instead
- Report noticeable tremor, palpitations, or a racing heartbeat to your doctor
- Keep scheduled follow-up appointments so your doctor can review asthma control and adjust treatment if needed
- This syrup is not a substitute for a fast-acting reliever inhaler during a severe asthma attack

Why is there no information here about what Salcodyl Syrup is for?
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.
How should I use Salcodyl Syrup?
Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Salcodyl Syrup before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store Salcodyl Syrup?
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed between doses. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Salcodyl Syrup?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
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 Salcodyl 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 Salcodyl 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.

Relevant Information
Because Salcodyl Syrup is treated as a prescription medicine here, a doctor’s assessment is required to confirm the diagnosis and determine appropriate use, particularly in children. Regular review is recommended for anyone using it for chronic asthma control, and it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment for an acute, severe breathing episode, which needs prompt medical attention.
