Same salt, different brands:

Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - LACTIC ACID-10%W/W + LIQUID PARAFFIN-10%W/W + PROPYLENE GLYCOL-10%W/W + UREA-10%W/W, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

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:
