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

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