What is the brand name of omeprazole?
Omeprazole is the generic name for a proton-pump inhibitor. The best-known brand name is Prilosec (and, depending on the formulation, Prilosec OTC).
Is there more than one brand name for omeprazole?
Yes. Omeprazole can be marketed under different brand names and product versions (for example, prescription vs. over-the-counter, and delayed-release formulations). The exact brand depends on the country and the specific product packaging.
How do people usually search “omeprazole name brand”?
Most people looking for the brand name are trying to identify Prilosec. If you’re matching a medication label, check whether the package lists “omeprazole” as the active ingredient and whether it’s labeled Prilosec/Prilosec OTC or another brand.
What should you check on the label?
Look for:
- Active ingredient: omeprazole
- Strength (mg)
- Formulation: delayed-release capsule/tablet
- Whether it’s sold OTC or prescription
Are there generic versions?
Yes. Omeprazole is available as generics in many places, so “omeprazole” may appear on labels even when the medication isn’t the original brand product.
