Stamlo T substitute?
My uncle takes Stamlo T to keep BP in control. But price for 1 strip is quite high (INR 100). I looked up online and found OZOTEL-AM to have an identical composition. And its cost is INR 20 for one strip. My question is: (1) Why such huge cost difference for meds with identical composition... (2) Can my uncle shift to OZOTEL, as it's quite a cost-effective option for us? and (3) Most important, is the composition exactly identical, or am I missing something out here? Thanks in advance for your reply, and keep up the good work :)

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Every brand has its own price.
Good brands have higher price compared to others.
Not just the tablet, but how they are manufactured will also decide the cost.
Certain medicines sre manufactured in a way so that it will give out only a certain amount of drug constantly while others do not .
The coating etc will also make a difference.
Tab. Amodep-tm is a good alternative which is cheap and from a good brand also.
Ozotel-am i have never used for any of my patients so do not know about the quality.
Best regards.
