Key Points
Composition — Identical. Both contain exactly Empagliflozin 25 mg as the active ingredient with the same excipients. They are therapeutically the same drug.
Manufacturing difference (minor): Strip 2 explicitly mentions it is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim (the original innovator of Empagliflozin) and imported/marketed by Lupin. Strip 1 is manufactured directly at Lupin's facility in Jammu. Both are sold under Lupin's Gibtulio brand.
Price: Strip 1 shows MRP ₹159.35 for 10 tablets. Strip 2's MRP is not visible in the image, but since it is the same brand (Gibtulio 25 mg) and pack size, the price should be identical or very close.
Bottom line: You can use either strip interchangeably — same active ingredient, same dose, same brand. The only difference is the manufacturing site.
