Where is omeprazole manufactured?

Who makes omeprazole, and where is it manufactured?

Omeprazole is manufactured by multiple companies worldwide, using different facilities for different brands and strength/dosage forms. Because “omeprazole” is sold under many brand and generic labels, the manufacturing site can vary by product and country of sale.

How can you find the exact manufacturing location for your specific omeprazole?

To determine where your particular omeprazole tablet or capsule was made, check the label or package insert for:
- “Manufactured by” (company name)
- “Manufacturer” or “Batch”/“Lot” information
- The address of the manufacturing site (often shown on the outer carton or blister label)

Does the answer differ for brand vs generic omeprazole?

Yes. Brand-name and generic omeprazole often come from different manufacturers and plants. Even within generics, different suppliers can make versions that look similar but have different manufacturing locations.

Can patent/drug-tracking sources help?

DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patents and related developments, but it usually does not list the manufacturing sites for every finished omeprazole product. For the most accurate “where it’s manufactured” answer, the product label is the best source.
