Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Recita 5 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.
Understanding the Composition
Recita 5 mg Tablet contains Escitalopram Oxalate (5mg). Substitute medicines with the same active ingredient work by the same mechanism and treat the same conditions.
Price differences between brands are common and do not indicate a difference in quality or effectiveness. All medicines sold in India must meet the standards set by CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation).

Recita 5 mg Tablet: Substitute FAQs
Are substitutes as effective as the original medicine?
Substitutes with the same active ingredient (salt) work in a similar way. However, inactive ingredients may differ. Always consult your doctor before switching.
Why are some substitutes cheaper?
Generic medicines are usually cheaper because manufacturers don't have the same development costs as the original brand. They contain the same active ingredient in the same strength.
Can I switch to a substitute on my own?
No. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching medicines, even if the substitute has the same composition.
What is the difference between generic and branded medicines?
Generic medicines contain the same active ingredients as branded ones but are sold under different names, often at lower prices. Both are regulated for safety and efficacy.
