What does a hydrocortisone vial cost in the Philippines?
Hydrocortisone vial prices in the Philippines vary by brand (manufacturer), pack size (vial strength such as 100 mg/25 mg), and where you buy (hospital pharmacy vs. retail pharmacy vs. online sellers). Pricing also changes over time due to supply and regulation.
Where can you check the current hydrocortisone vial price online in PH?
To get the most up-to-date Philippines pricing, the most reliable approach is to check the listing at the specific pharmacy or marketplace you plan to use, since invoice prices can differ by distributor and procurement contracts. Common places people check include:
- Major retail pharmacy chains’ online stores
- Hospital pharmacy counters (often the case for injectable products)
- Philippine online pharmacies/marketplaces that show current “per vial” pricing
Does the vial strength (and brand) change the price a lot?
Yes. Hydrocortisone injection is sold in different vial strengths, and that strongly affects cost per vial. The same generic medicine can also vary in price depending on:
- Strength per vial (for example, 100 mg vs. 25 mg)
- Brand vs. generic
- Supplier/distributor for that specific listing
Why are prices sometimes inconsistent between pharmacies?
Injectables like hydrocortisone can be more sensitive to:
- Stock availability and reorder timing
- Local distributor pricing
- Rebates, tenders, or hospital procurement terms
- Whether the item is sold strictly by prescription channels
If you tell me the exact vial strength and brand, I can help narrow the price range
Reply with:
1) the vial strength you need (e.g., 100 mg or 25 mg), and
2) the brand name (if any) or whether you want generic,
and I’ll help you figure out what to look for when comparing listings (and how to avoid mismatched strengths/packages).

No drug-specific price source was provided in the prompt, so I did not cite any. If you share a link or a specific listing (pharmacy name + strength), I can interpret it and compare it against the right “per vial” basis.
