Overview
Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Salbutamol (as sulfate) 4mg, controlled-release – the active ingredient. It is supplied in a pack size of 56s.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as doing so would interfere with the controlled-release mechanism. It is usually taken twice daily (approximately every 12 hours) as prescribed, with or without food.
Dosage
Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose, commonly in the range of 4-8mg taken twice daily depending on individual response, and this should be followed exactly. This tablet is intended for background, maintenance control of airway symptoms rather than rapid relief, so it should not be relied upon in place of a fast-acting reliever inhaler for sudden symptoms.
Shelf Life
Unopened and stored correctly, Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the packaging. Do not use the tablets after this date, and check with your pharmacist if the blister packaging appears damaged.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, in the original packaging. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times.

Drug / Food Interactions

Quick Tips

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 Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet 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 Salmax Cr 4mg Tablet 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.
