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:

Medicinal Benefits

Zonasoft Eye Drops is a combination of two medicines: Carboxymethylcellulose and Glycerin. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. Glycerin is an ophthalmic demulcent (forms a soothing film) that works by lubricating the eye's mucous membrane surface. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dry eye.
