How much does hydroxyzine cost in the Philippines?
Hydroxyzine prices in the Philippines can vary a lot by (1) the strength (e.g., 10 mg vs 25 mg), (2) whether it’s tablet or syrup, (3) brand vs generic, and (4) pharmacy/online retailer.
At the moment, I don’t have specific Philippine retail price data for hydroxyzine from the information provided. If you tell me:
- the exact strength (mg) and form (tablet, capsule, or syrup),
- whether you want brand or generic,
- and your city (or which pharmacies you’re checking),
I can help you narrow down what to look for and how to compare prices.
Brand vs generic: what usually changes?
In the Philippines, the same active ingredient (hydroxyzine) may be sold under different brand names and also as generics. Typically, generics are cheaper, but the price gap depends on which manufacturer is available locally and the pharmacy’s pricing.
What strengths/forms are usually priced differently?
Hydroxyzine is commonly stocked in multiple strengths and forms (for example, oral tablets at different mg levels, and sometimes syrup). Higher strength tablets or larger pack sizes often cost more in absolute terms, but the per-tablet (or per-mL) cost is what determines which is cheaper overall.
How to compare prices quickly at local pharmacies
A simple way to compare:
- calculate cost per tablet (or per mL for syrup),
- check the exact mg per unit on the label,
- compare pack sizes (e.g., 10s vs 30s vs 100s),
- and confirm whether you’re comparing brand to brand, or generic to generic.
If you meant “hydroxyzine patent/brand-origin pricing”
If you’re asking about manufacturing or patent-related pricing (more common for newer branded medicines), that’s a different question from local retail cost. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent/exclusivity information for drugs and may include hydroxyzine-related coverage depending on the specific product/formulation.

What I need to give you a precise price range
Reply with any one of these, and I’ll help you estimate a realistic range and what’s likely the better value:
1) “Hydroxyzine 25 mg tablet” or “Hydroxyzine syrup” (and how many mL per bottle if you know)
2) Your city or the pharmacy names you’re considering (e.g., Mercury Drug, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy)
