What is the price of tranexamic acid 500 mg on “Mercury Drug” (and what affects it)?
Mercury Drug Philippines prices can vary by:
- Formulation and brand (tablet vs. capsule, different manufacturers)
- Pack size (number of tablets per box)
- Whether it is a generic or brand product
- Promotions or pharmacy location
To give the correct price, I’d need either a link to the exact Mercury Drug listing you mean or the brand/manufacturer and pack size (e.g., “tranexamic acid 500 mg tablets, 10s/20s/30s”).
How can I quickly check the exact Mercury Drug price?
The fastest way is to search Mercury Drug’s website or app for:
- “tranexamic acid 500 mg”
- Then open the listing that matches the exact pack size and dosage form shown on the box.
If you paste the product name and pack size from the Mercury Drug page (or send the URL), I can help confirm whether it matches the standard 500 mg strength and summarize what to watch for when comparing prices.
Are there cheaper alternatives if Mercury Drug’s price is high?
If price is the main issue, comparing generics is usually the easiest route:
- Look for the same strength (500 mg) and same dosage form (tablet/capsule).
- Compare the total number of tablets per box, not just the per-tablet headline price.
- Check if the listing includes the same manufacturer or has interchangeable generics.
Is tranexamic acid 500 mg used for the same condition in different products?
Tranexamic acid is used for different indications depending on the prescriber’s guidance (for example, heavy menstrual bleeding in many settings). Price comparisons are still meaningful, but dose schedule and suitability depend on your diagnosis and medical history (for example, clot-risk factors). If this is for a specific use, tell me the indication and your dosing instructions and I can help you verify what “500 mg” products typically correspond to.
Patent and brand-price notes (if you’re comparing with other markets)
Tranexamic acid is an older medicine and is commonly available as generics; patent-driven pricing differences across markets are usually less relevant than packaging and supplier pricing. If you want, share the country/market and I can point you to the most relevant patent/generic landscape using DrugPatentWatch as a reference.
