500 mg will be 500 mg in India as well. It is a good idea to know the dosage of your preferred drugs ( Indian dosages may be based on the average , lighter Indian) and also the generic (substance) name , i.e. mefloquine for Lariam, ASA (acetylsylic acid) for aspirin etc. Bring also dried yoghurt culture pills or use curd after eating antibiotics ; diarrhoea is often caused by the lack of these bacteria after eating antibiotics.
