How to buy antacids & acid reducers (famotidine, omeprazole & more) for less

This is a price comparison, not medical advice. We rank what each product costs per tablet; which medicine is right for you, and at what dose, is a question for a pharmacist or doctor. Always follow the label.

Heartburn relief splits into three tiers priced very differently — chewable antacids (calcium carbonate / Tums), H2 blockers (famotidine / Pepcid) and PPIs (omeprazole / Prilosec) — and within each tier the generic is the identical active at a fraction of the brand price. Cost per tablet only means something within the same tier.

  • Match the tier before comparing price. A calcium-carbonate chewable, a famotidine tablet and an omeprazole capsule solve different problems; cost per tablet is only a fair comparison within the same active ingredient.
  • Generic famotidine and omeprazole ARE Pepcid and Prilosec at the same dose. Store-brand omeprazole 20 mg runs roughly $0.15–0.30 a capsule against $0.60–1.00 for the brand — the same molecule.
  • PPIs (omeprazole) are sold as 14-day courses — buy by the course, not the biggest box, unless a doctor has you on it long-term. More capsules is only cheaper per tablet if the use fits.
  • Store brands (Amazon Basic Care, Equate) carry all three tiers at the lowest cost per tablet we track; the national brand is mostly the name on the box.
