Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as T Bact Cream. 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.

Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Mild irritation, burning, or redness may occur at the application site after use.

Use it only for bacterial skin infections and not for fungal infections. Consult your doctor if redness spreads, pus increases, or the infection worsens. Continue use for the full prescribed duration even if the skin appears to improve earlier. Seek medical advice if your condition does not improve within 3–5 days of using T-Bact Cream.
