How this works, in plain words
The basics
What a brand alternative is
Two shops sell the same loaf of bread. One charges ₹148, the other ₹38. Same bread. Different price.
How we check
How we know it is the same
Every salt and every strength on your strip, matched one for one. If one is off, it is not a match.
The money
Why one medicine has two prices
The tablet is a small part of what you pay. The rest is how it reached the shelf.
Your prescription
How to read what your doctor wrote
The brand name is the big word. The salt is the small print underneath — and the small print is the medicine.
Care
When not to switch
Some medicines are fussy about their maker. Your pharmacist knows which, and will say so.
