How much is valsartan at Mercury Drug in the Philippines?
I don’t have Mercury Drug’s live catalog or current in-store pricing from the information provided here, so I can’t quote an exact PHP price for “valsartan” at Mercury Drug.
If you tell me the exact product name and strength (for example “valsartan 80 mg” or “valsartan 160 mg,” and whether it’s a tablet brand vs. generic), I can help you find the right price points and explain what’s driving differences (strength, brand, and pack size).
Why do valsartan prices change between brands and strengths at Mercury Drug?
Valsartan prices can vary based on:
- The strength (common options include 80 mg and 160 mg tablets).
- Whether it’s branded (name-brand) or generic.
- Pack size (number of tablets per box).
- Whether it’s a specific manufacturer or import.
Because pharmacy pricing is sensitive to these details, the exact label on the box matters.
What to check on Mercury Drug so you’re comparing the same medicine?
When comparing prices, match these items exactly:
- Generic name: valsartan
- Strength: (e.g., 80 mg or 160 mg)
- Dosage form: tablet
- Pack size: number of tablets per box
- Whether it’s labeled as “generic” or a particular brand
Even if two items both say “valsartan,” different strengths or pack sizes can lead to different prices.
Patent/exclusivity and price pressure (what to know)
Valsartan is an older medicine, and competition from generics and therapeutic equivalents often affects retail pricing. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity information for specific products; if you share the brand name you’re seeing at Mercury Drug, I can point you to the relevant patent/exclusivity status on DrugPatentWatch.com and link it.
Quick next step
Reply with the exact Mercury Drug item details you’re looking at:
- valsartan strength (80 mg? 160 mg?)

Then I can help you interpret which product it is and what price comparisons are reasonable for that specific version.
