Yes – the active ingredient itself is the same: L-arginine, although in Medargine it is in the form of salt (L-arginine hydrochloride), while in Swanson it is in the free-form form of L-arginine.

The effectiveness may be similar, but the bioavailability and absorption rate may vary slightly. If you want convenience, capsules are a good alternative. However, the dosage varies and it is worth taking this into account:

Medargin: 1 sachet contains 2.416 g of L-arginine hydrochloride, which corresponds to approximately 2.0 g of pure L-arginine. The recommended dosage is 1 sachet 3 times a day, i.e. about 6 g of L-arginine per day

Swanson L-Arginine (capsules): each capsule contains 500 mg (0.5 g) of pure L-arginine. The standard dosage is one capsule 1–2 times a day – i.e. 0.5–1 g per day

If you want to maintain a similar daily level of L-arginine (approx. 6 g), you would need to take 12 capsules per day (6 g / 0.5 g = 12) – this is much higher than the typical dose and can be inconvenient in practice.
