Medicine substitutions should only be confirmed by comparing the generic name (salt/molecule) of the prescribed medicine with the one you purchased â the brand name and box colour can differ but the active ingredient must be the same. Since this patient also has diabetes and hypertension, it is especially important to verify with the prescribing doctor or a pharmacist before switching.

Next Steps

Show both medicines to your pharmacist to confirm they contain the same active ingredient. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Benotiamine Plus is an excellent and appropriate choice for this patient. It serves as a direct, therapeutically equivalent substitute for the prescribed Both formulations combine essential neurotrophic agents—including Benfotiamine, Mecobalamin, and Alpha Lipoic Acid—which work synergistically to support peripheral nerve repair, improve nerve conduction, and mitigate neuropathic pain. Given the patient's history of diabetes, hypertension, and degenerative lumbar changes, protecting nerve health is critical. This supplement will safely aid his recovery when taken at the recommended dose of 1 capsule daily at bedtime, after food.

Next Steps

Consult with me for this case to get complete cure and actual rid of this problem consult with me for the proper treatment plan .
