Omeprazole generic?

Yes. Omeprazole is available as a generic medication in many countries. The brand-name Prilosec is now generic, and you can usually find omeprazole in:

- Doses: commonly 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg delayed-release capsules or tablets
- Forms: plain omeprazole and combination products with sodium bicarbonate (e.g., omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate)

OTC availability varies by country, but many places offer 20 mg omeprazole OTC for short courses. Generics are typically cheaper than brand-name Prilosec.

If you tell me your country, I can give more specific details on OTC vs Rx status and typical prices. If you’re considering switching to a generic, the active ingredient is the same, and your pharmacist can help you pick an appropriate strength and formulation.
