cetirizine hydrochloride 1 MG/ML Oral Solution
The same active ingredient is not automatically the same medicine. Strength, route and formulation all differ, and only a pharmacist or prescriber can tell you whether one of these is a substitute in your case. What we can tell you is what each costs.
There is a version sold without a prescription
936 over-the-counter products contain cetirizine hcl, at 5 mg/5mL against the 1 mg/mL prescribed here. At what pharmacies pay, the shelf version is about 76% cheaper per unit.
The strengths are not the same. Do not assume one box replaces the other.
See the shelf pricesThe same drug costs far less in another form
Cetirizine Hydrochloride as a solution costs about 3.4× what the tablet, film coated costs per unit of active ingredient ($17.60 against $5.20 per gram).
Whether the form can be changed is a question for a prescriber — for a child, or anyone who cannot swallow a tablet, it often cannot.
Other strengths and forms of the same drug
Not equivalents — a different strength is a different prescription. Listed because the price per unit often differs sharply between them.
