Cetirizineequivalents

cetirizine hydrochloride 1 MG/ML Oral Solution [Zyrtec]

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.

The same drug costs far less in another form

Cetirizine Hydrochloride as a syrup costs about 31.6× what the tablet, film coated costs per unit of active ingredient ($164.60 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.
