Same salt, different brands:

Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - BECLOMETHASONE DIPROPIONATE-0.025%W/W + CLOTRIMAZOLE-1%W/W + NEOMYCIN-0.5%W/W, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.

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.
