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

Aquashot Injection is a combination drug primarily used to treat Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and abdominal cramps occurring due to dysmenorrhea (painful irregular periods). Aquashot Injection is composed of two medicines: Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and Diclofenac (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory disease/ pain killer) which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. It prevents sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thus, relieving cramps, bloating, pain and discomfort.
