Last updated: Jul 14, 2023The second wave of coronavirus has hit us harder than the first wave. This time around, the new strain of COVID-19 is much more infectious and is spreading faster.
It is best suggested to seek medical advice from a doctor as soon as you develop the first symptom. Do not wait for your reports to arrive, nor should one self-diagnose or consume any medicines without consulting your doctor. For the majority of people who have come down with COVID-19, home isolation, monitoring of oxygen saturation levels, temperature, healthy eating and complete rest along with certain medicines are suggested by doctors.

With lakhs of people contracting COVID-19 every day in India, it is not surprising that the medicines which may aid the treatment of COVID-19 detected patients, are flying off the shelves. Due to the sharp rise in COVID-19 cases in India, the demand for such medicines is high and the supply is unable to match it. As a result, many people who need COVID-19 medication are unable to get their hands on these medicines.
Worry not! The good news is that in case of unavailability of such medicines there are many alternative medicines of the same therapeutic composition that can help.
We are here to assist you with suggestions of alternative medicines in case you are not able to find a particular medicine your doctor has prescribed. However, it is strongly advised that before consuming any such medication for COVID-19-related treatment (including the alternative medicines suggested by us), the caregiver/patient should consult a qualified medical practitioner.
We have created a table of medicines with the same composition available as alternate brand names that may be used for reference purposes:
