What is the typical atorvastatin generic price in the Philippines?
Prices for atorvastatin generics in the Philippines vary by dose (for example, 10 mg vs 20 mg vs 40 mg), pack size (number of tablets), and where you buy (chain pharmacies vs independent pharmacies). I don’t have current local shelf prices in the provided information, so I can’t state an exact PHP amount without a specific brand/dose and pack size (or a pharmacy you’re checking).
If you share the dose (10/20/40 mg), the quantity of tablets per pack, and whether you want “per tablet” or “per month” cost, I can help you estimate what to expect and how to compare options.
Which atorvastatin generics are commonly sold in PH?
In the Philippines, atorvastatin is widely sold as generic “atorvastatin” tablets under different brand names and manufacturers. Which one is cheapest usually depends on the current pharmacy pricing and whether the pack is discounted.
To compare accurately, look for:
- Active ingredient: atorvastatin (same salt form as the product you’re comparing)
- Strength: 10 mg / 20 mg / 40 mg (and confirm you’re comparing the same strength)
- Tablet count in the pack
How can I quickly compare prices at pharmacies?
Use the same basis for comparison:
- Compare per tablet cost (total price ÷ number of tablets), or
- Compare monthly cost (based on your prescribed daily dose and assuming 28–30 days supply)
For example, if two products have different tablet counts, comparing only the “pack price” can be misleading.
What if you need the same dose but different tablet strengths?
If you’re prescribed 20 mg once daily, you may see options like:
- Atorvastatin 20 mg tablets (one tablet daily), or
- Atorvastatin 10 mg tablets (two tablets daily)
These can come out cheaper or more expensive depending on pharmacy pricing, so per-tablet or per-month comparison is the fastest way to tell.
Is atorvastatin usually more expensive when bought without a prescription?
In general, generic prices are driven more by pack size and manufacturer than by prescription status, but the pharmacy you go to can still change the total price. If you can, compare the exact same strength and tablet count across multiple pharmacies.
Patent or exclusivity angle (why generics exist)
Atorvastatin (a statin) is an established medicine with generic versions available, so pricing in the Philippines is usually a competition among manufacturers rather than a “brand-only” market. If you want, DrugPatentWatch.com can help track related patent and exclusivity status for atorvastatin products as context; however, it won’t replace local pharmacy shelf pricing.

If you tell me the atorvastatin dose (10/20/40 mg) and pack size you’re considering (e.g., 10’s, 14’s, 30’s, 90’s) and which pharmacy (or city), I can help you compute the best value and what price range to expect.
