The odonil.pack of 45 days lasts only 10-12 days.
What do you use, is there any cheap alternative?

Keep the  Toilet  clean and Ventilated , and if no natural ventilation  than use small exhaust  fan . No  Freshhers needed than .

Sometimes  i just place 1 - 2 camphor tablets  ,and it lasts easily for a week  Cheaper and best  Alternative

Oh no!! That way it's reasonable that it lasts only 10-12 days. It's sublime...it won't last long of its completely exposed to air.

Odonil should last at least 30 days. Try just making a small rectangular cut on the cover. Other alternative is trying scented candles.

Hmm.
But its highly injurious to health in long run  as the user sit in closed  small toilet and breathe  that odonil fumes fragrance specially for asthama and lungs  breathing problems  people.

Get a small exhaust  fan installed.  Maximum  Rs 500 total expenditure

Does your toilet smell . Do you stay in a building  or private bungalow  types . If yes ,check whether toilet gas exit pipe is installed or not .

If all is ok there should be no reason  for use of odonil types unless  just  for  feel good factor which is unnecessary

It doesn't smell, but whenever someone uses it , atmosphere becomes moist and then smell traps. 
Bought Havels exhaust, yet to install.

As per instructions on pack, the complete tablet is to be taken out of foil and placed in cardboard packing. But it lasts less than 20 days only

Arrey no bro... scented candles are not just for setting the "mood" in the room 😄

There are plenty of organic, aromatic candles meant for bathroom odour as well..e g. check Bella Vita

That's correct, it won't last long enough if you take the tablet out of the pack which is why I always make a rectangular cut on the cover along the length of the tablet & place it inside the box. It lasts longer.
