What is the “Mercury Drug” price of atorvastatin in the Philippines?
I can’t provide a current Mercury Drug (or other pharmacy) shelf price from the information available here. Drug pricing changes by strength (e.g., 10 mg/20 mg/40 mg/80 mg), pack size, and whether the product is branded or generic, so the exact price depends on the specific atorvastatin SKU you’re looking at.
If you want, tell me the exact strength and pack size (for example “atorvastatin 20 mg, 30 tablets” or the brand name), and I can help you find the right comparable listing and sources you can use to verify the price.
How to check the exact Mercury Drug price quickly (what to look for)
Atorvastatin prices at Philippine pharmacies usually vary by:
- Strength: 10 mg vs 20 mg vs 40 mg vs 80 mg
- Quantity: commonly 10/20/30/90 tablets (or 1x blister vs multiple strips)
- Formulation/brand vs generic (e.g., “atorvastatin calcium” generics)
- Whether it’s “low-priced” store brands or standard generics
To avoid mismatch, confirm the strength and the number of tablets before comparing prices.
How do Mercury Drug prices usually compare with other retailers?
Without a specific listing or current price data, I can’t state a typical range. In practice, prices may differ most when:
- Mercury Drug is selling a specific branded product while others carry a generic
- One retailer sells larger packs (often lowering per-tablet cost)
Patent/exclusivity info (if you’re asking because price seems “too high”)
Atorvastatin is widely available as a generic in many markets, so unusually high prices often come from brand selection, pack size differences, or product strength—not patent exclusivity. If you meant a patent-price question tied to U.S./global drug history, sources like DrugPatentWatch can help, but that still won’t show a Mercury Drug in-store price.

If you share this, I can narrow it to the exact product and price you want
Reply with any one of the following:
- Strength and tablet count (e.g., “atorvastatin 20 mg, 30 tablets”)
- The exact Mercury Drug brand/generic name you see on the box
- A photo or the exact text from the Mercury Drug listing (if you have it)
