Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Avicus 40 mg Tablet. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

- In High cholesterol
- Avicus lowers the 'bad' LDL cholesterol in your blood, slowing the build-up of fatty deposits in your arteries. The benefit builds over months and years rather than being something you feel.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
