Brands with the same composition and strength

Legal price ceiling per unit
NPPA ceiling for Oral Liquid 250 mg/5ml: Rs 0.6 per 1 ml (as on March 2026). This is a legal upper limit before tax, not the usual price.
The government sets a maximum price for scheduled formulations.

How to work out your savings
Savings per tablet = (your brand price per strip / tablets per strip) minus (alternative price per strip / tablets per strip). Savings percent = savings divided by your brand price per tablet.
Brand prices are not shown on this page. Use the price on your pack and the price quoted by the seller.
Divide each strip price by the number of tablets to compare fairly.

Before you switch
Brands with the same composition can differ in inactive ingredients, release profile and pack. Do not change brands for medicines such as thyroid, epilepsy, blood thinners or heart rhythm medicines without asking your doctor.
This page does not recommend any brand.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands.
Do not switch brands on your own.
