Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Medicinal Benefits

Flu-CF Tablet contains Caffeine, Diphenhydramine, Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases the effect of paracetamol and decreases drowsiness caused by Diphenhydramine. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Diphenhydramine is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, provides relief from congestion and decreasing mucus production. Together, Flu-CF Tablet helps to provide relief from symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
