Where is Prilosec (omeprazole) made?

Prilosec (omeprazole) is manufactured by drug makers that produce the active ingredient and finished product under FDA-approved quality systems. Public-facing labeling typically does not always list the exact plant location in a simple “made in ___” format, so the clearest way to confirm the specific manufacturing site for a particular Prilosec package is to check the box insert and the “manufactured for” / “distributed by” information shown on your bottle or carton.

How to check the exact manufacturing location on your bottle

Look on the Prilosec bottle/carton for the company name under “Manufactured for” (or “Distributed by”), plus any identifying manufacturing-site or supplier information printed on the label. If your product includes an NDC number, you can also use it to match the exact product listing to its manufacturing details.

Why the manufacturing country or plant can vary by supplier

Brands like Prilosec may have multiple manufacturers and contract manufacturers across time and between dosage forms (capsules/tablets), strengths, and package sizes. As a result, one person’s bottle may reflect a different production site than another person’s.
