Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I could not find the drug darbotiter 40mg. Could you please get back to me with the contents of the drug so that I can help you.
I agree with your doctor that prescription should not be changed. Pharmacy tries to sell drugs they have the maximum margin for and at times inferior quality drugs

Revac and engirex are the same in the sense that they are hepatitis b vaccination. Engirex is the original molecule

Please get back to me
