What is the typical price for omeprazole 20 mg (by form)?
Price for omeprazole 20 mg depends mainly on whether you’re buying an immediate-release capsule/tablet or an enteric-coated product, and whether it’s generic or brand-name. The most reliable way to get a real number is to compare your specific dosage form and package size at your pharmacy or in an online drug price list.
Why do omeprazole 20 mg prices vary so much?
Even for the same “20 mg” strength, prices can change with:
- Generic vs. brand (brand-name is usually higher)
- Package size (30 vs. 90 count costs more per bottle but often less per pill)
- Retail vs. mail-order pricing
- Whether your pharmacy uses a cash price, insurance copay, or a discount program
Are there brand and generic options for omeprazole 20 mg?
Most “omeprazole 20 mg” products sold in the U.S. are generics. If you tell me the exact product name (for example, “omeprazole delayed-release capsules 20 mg”) and count (30, 60, 90), I can help you narrow down what price range is typical.
How can you find the exact price near you?

Quick questions so I can give a more precise answer
1) What country are you in?
2) Is it capsules or tablets, and is it “delayed-release/enteric-coated”?
3) How many pills per bottle (30/60/90)?
4) Do you want the price without insurance (“cash price”) or with your copay?
