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

How to take Scabper Cream
For external use only. Apply a thin layer over clean, dry skin as directed by the doctor (often from neck to toes, including skin folds); leave on for the prescribed duration and then wash off. Treat close contacts if advised; wash clothing/bedding in hot water. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Scabper Cream, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
