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
1946 over-the-counter products contain ibuprofen, at 100 mg/5mL.
See the shelf pricesThe same drug costs far less in another form
Ibuprofen as a suspension/ drops costs about 274.2× what the tablet, film coated costs per unit of active ingredient ($12.13 against $0.04 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
