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

Benefits of Practin EN Syrup
- In Allergic rhinitis
- Practin EN blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
- In Hives and skin allergy
- Practin EN calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
- In Itching
- Practin EN relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
- In Allergic asthma
- Practin EN reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.
- In Liver disorders
- Practin EN supports the liver's recovery and protects its cells from further damage, as part of the treatment your doctor has planned.
- In Fatty liver
- Practin EN supports the liver while the fat that has built up is reduced through weight loss and diet, which remain the main treatment.
