Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Lecom-NT Oral Suspension Mango is used to treat various bacterial and parasitic infections. It helps treat infections affecting the lungs, skin, prostate, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal tract. It is also effective in treating diarrhoea caused by mixed infections (involving both bacteria and parasites) and amoebic dysentery. It is a combination of two antibiotics: Ofloxacin and Metronidazole. Ofloxacin (an antibacterial) prevents the division of bacterial cells and inhibits their repair mechanism, leading to the death of the bacteria. Metronidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that cause infections. It works by damaging their DNA. Both antibiotics are bactericidal in nature and work together to effectively treat the infection.
