Same active ingredient does not mean same product. Prescription strengths are often higher than what is sold on a shelf, so confirm with your pharmacist or prescriber that the shelf version matches what you were prescribed before switching.
Cheaper form
The tablet form of this drug costs 3.1× less.
Measured per gram of loperamide hcl, the suspension works out at $198.30 against $64.82 for the tablet. Liquids cost more to make, ship and store, and that shows up in what you pay.
Whether a tablet would work for you is a question for your prescriber or pharmacist — it depends on the dose and on whether swallowing one is manageable. Worth asking, because they may not know the price difference either.
This is not medical advice, just a price comparison. Do not crush, split or dissolve any medication unless a pharmacist has told you that yours is safe to take that way.
