You can pass ItemID as a value.
After form submitted you can again fire select query to fetch price of selected item from ItemID.

<select name="item2" id="item2" onchange="getPrice(this.id)" />
<option value="">Select medicine</option>
<?php
	$sql = "SELECT ItemID, ItemName, Price FROM itemavail ORDER BY ItemName";
	$rs = mysql_query($sql);
	while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))
	{
	  echo "<option value=\"".$row['ItemID']."\">".$row['ItemName']."</option> \n  ";
	}
?>
</select>

You can also use below code to pass both id and price in single form.

<?
	$item2 = $_REQUEST['item2'];
	$ar = explode('###',$item2);
	$itemId = $ar[0];
	$itemPrice = $ar[1];
?>
<select name="item2" id="item2" onchange="getPrice(this.id)" />
<option value="">Select medicine</option>
<?php
	$sql = "SELECT ItemID, ItemName, Price FROM itemavail ORDER BY ItemName";
	$rs = mysql_query($sql);
	while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))
	{
	  echo "<option value=\"".$row['ItemID'].'###'.$row['Price']."\">".$row['ItemName']."</option> \n  ";
	}
?>
</select>
