Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Hicool Eye Drops. 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.

Seek same-day care for eye pain, marked redness, sensitivity to light or any loss of vision.

Glaucoma drops must be used every day for life; there are no symptoms until sight is already lost.
