Patients may explore substitutes in the following scenarios:
Before you switch from Planit Tablet 21's to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Same salt, different brands:
Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - ETHINYLESTRADIOL-0.03MG + LEVONORGESTREL-0.15MG, 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:
Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
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:
Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.
