levocetirizine dihydrochloride 0.5 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
97 over-the-counter products contain levocetirizine dihydrochloride, at 5 mg/1 against the 2.5 mg/5mL prescribed here.
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
levocetirizine dihydrochloride as a solution costs about 26.0× what the tablet costs per unit of active ingredient ($165.60 against $6.38 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.
