Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Supirocin Ointment. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.

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.

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Supirocin Ointment, 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.
