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
  • Muscle cramps
  • Dry mouth or throat irritation

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

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Salbutamol (as sulfate) – the active ingredient
  • Syrup base and flavouring excipients as formulated by the manufacturer

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.
