Overview
Ventolin HFA 100mcg Metered Dose Inhaler contains Salbutamol (as sulfate) 100mcg per actuation and is presented as an inhaler. It is supplied in a pack size of 200 doses.
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
Shake the inhaler well before use, breathe out fully away from the mouthpiece, then place the mouthpiece between your lips and begin breathing in slowly as you press down firmly on the canister to release one puff, continuing to inhale steadily and deeply. Hold your breath for around 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly, waiting about 30 seconds before a second puff if needed; some users notice the HFA spray feels slightly softer or warmer than older propellant types, which is a normal difference in formulation rather than a sign of reduced effectiveness.
Dosage
The usual adult and child dose for acute symptom relief is one to two puffs (100 to 200mcg) as needed, and one to two puffs about 15 minutes beforehand can help prevent exercise-induced symptoms. Use should not exceed the frequency recommended on the label or by your pharmacist or doctor; needing it more often than this, or finding your usual dose less effective than before, should prompt a review of your overall asthma or COPD management.
Shelf Life
When stored correctly and left unopened, Ventolin HFA 100mcg MDI is generally stable until the expiry date printed on the canister and carton; the number of actuations used should be tracked using the dose counter where fitted, as the inhaler should not be relied upon once the labelled number of doses has been dispensed.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C, away from direct heat, open flame and frost, and never puncture, break apart or burn the canister, even when it seems empty, as it remains under pressure. Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Side Effects
- Shakiness or tremors
- Headache
- Increased heart rate
- Nervousness or restlessness
- Muscle cramps
- Dry mouth or throat irritation
Contraindications
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to salbutamol or to any excipient in this HFA formulation
- Severe, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, unless specifically assessed and approved by a doctor
- Reliance on this inhaler alone as a substitute for a prescribed preventer inhaler in persistent asthma
- Rapidly worsening or severe breathlessness that does not respond to the inhaler, which requires emergency medical attention
Drug / Food Interactions
- Beta-blocker medicines: can blunt the bronchodilating effect of salbutamol and worsen airway narrowing
- Other beta-2 agonists or stimulant decongestants: additive tremor, palpitations or nervousness
- Diuretics or corticosteroids: may add to the risk of low blood potassium with frequent salbutamol use
- MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants: may increase cardiovascular side effects when combined with salbutamol
Quick Tips
- Carry this inhaler with you at all times if you have a history of asthma or sudden breathlessness
- Prime a new inhaler according to the leaflet instructions before first use, and if it has not been used for some time
- Track the number of puffs used, as the counter (if present) helps you know when a replacement is needed
- Have your technique checked periodically, as the fine mist produced by the HFA propellant still requires slow, coordinated inhalation to reach the lungs effectively
- Seek urgent care if breathlessness does not settle after using your inhaler as directed

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 Ventolin HFA 100mcg Metered Dose Inhaler 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 Ventolin HFA 100mcg Metered Dose Inhaler 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 the HFA propellant in this inhaler produces a mist that some patients perceive as softer, quieter or slightly less forceful than older formulations, it is worth confirming with a pharmacist that inhaler technique is still delivering the medicine effectively, particularly if you have recently switched from a different device. As with any salbutamol reliever, needing to use it more than two to three times a week outside of pre-exercise dosing usually signals that asthma control needs to be reviewed with a healthcare professional rather than simply increasing reliever use.
