What is the typical price of permethrin 5% cream in the Philippines?
I can’t give a reliable “one price” figure from the information provided here. In the Philippines, the retail cost usually varies by:
- brand name vs. generic version
- pack size (tube size)
- pharmacy (branch pricing)
- whether it’s OTC or sold with a prescription at that specific outlet
To get the most accurate current price, you’ll need to check local listings (e.g., major pharmacy chains or online pharmacy stores) for “permethrin 5% cream” and confirm the tube size.
Which tube size matters most for comparing prices?
Prices often differ largely because of tube size (common retail variations include different gram amounts per tube). When comparing quotes, make sure the listing matches the same strength (5%) and the same tube size in grams.
Is permethrin 5% cream sold under different brand names?
Yes. Even when the active ingredient is permethrin 5%, product names can differ (brand vs. generic). When you search, look for:
- “permethrin 5% cream”
- “permethrin cream 5%”
- the active ingredient “permethrin” even if the brand name is different
Can you tell me your exact target product so I can help you compare?
Share any of the following and I can narrow down what you should expect:
- tube size (e.g., 15 g, 30 g, etc.)
- brand name or a screenshot/link to the product listing
- where you plan to buy (e.g., Mercury Drug, Watsons, Southstar, online pharmacy)
