What’s the price of omeprazole (and what version changes the cost)?
“Omeprazole” prices vary mainly by (1) strength, (2) whether it’s immediate-release vs. delayed-release, (3) capsule vs. tablet, (4) brand vs. generic, (5) pack size (30 vs. 90), and (6) where you buy (retail pharmacy vs. discount programs vs. insurance copays). With these variables, the most useful price depends on the exact product you mean.
If you mean the OTC generic, what should you expect to pay?
For OTC omeprazole products, shoppers typically see lower prices than branded products, but the exact number depends on the mg strength and count in the bottle. If you share the exact strength (e.g., 10 mg or 20 mg), form (capsule), and bottle size (e.g., 14, 28, or 42 count), the price range can be narrowed a lot.
If you mean prescription omeprazole, what should you ask your pharmacy?
Prescription omeprazole prices can differ substantially based on:
- Generic manufacturer (still typically “omeprazole,” but NDC/generic version can change)
- Quantity (30-day vs 90-day supply)
- Formulation (for example, delayed-release capsules)
- Insurance copay or deductible status
A pharmacist can quote the “cash price” and the “insurance price” for the same exact NDC.

Can you tell me the exact omeprazole you want priced?
Reply with:
1) strength (mg)
2) form (capsule/tablet, delayed-release if applicable)
3) brand or generic (if known)
4) quantity (how many capsules/tablets)
5) location (country, and if you want: city or whether you mean US retail pharmacy)
…and I’ll narrow to the most likely price range for that exact omeprazole.
