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

Minarate Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate (antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (cough suppressant). Chlorphenamine maleate belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide belongs to the class of cough suppressants that block the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, together Minarate Syrup helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms.
