Overview

Singulair 5mg Tablet is a tablet with Montelukast Sodium (equivalent to Montelukast 5mg) declared as its active content. It is supplied in pack sizes of 28s and 7s.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Directions for Use

Singulair 5mg Tablet should be chewed thoroughly and not swallowed whole, usually given once daily in the evening, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your child’s doctor. For asthma prevention, it should be taken regularly even when your child feels well, as it is not intended for relief of an acute asthma attack.

Dosage

The usual prescribed dose for children aged 6 to 14 years is one 5mg chewable tablet once daily in the evening. Your doctor will confirm the correct dose based on your child’s age and condition; do not adjust the dose without medical advice, and do not use this strength in children younger than 6 years without a doctor’s specific instruction.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture, in the original blister packaging. Keep out of reach of children, even though the tablet is chewable and child-friendly in taste.
