Worth knowing
Brands are registered country by country, so a Spanish brand name may not exist in the US registry, and the molecule itself can carry another name in English. The molecule's name is the link: the table lists the local names on each side, then separates same-strength presentations from the rest. Check the dose with a pharmacist before switching.
