How much does esomeprazole strontium cost?
Pricing will vary across prescription drug plans and retailers or mail order prescription programs.
Esomeprazole strontium is available as an authorized generic for the brand by the same name (Esomeprazole strontium delayed-release capsules 49.3 mg), which was released in late 2013. Therefore, as an authorized generic prescription product, it is priced accordingly and should offer adult patients and payors a cost savings compared to its branded counterpart as well as, potentially, to other branded medications in the same therapeutic class. However, plan coverage, retail pricing variances and a host of other variables—including the availability of assistance and co-pay programs from other medications—make estimating exact savings difficult.

What can patients expect to pay for the product?
We have reached out to most insurance carriers to ensure that our product is properly designated as an Authorized Generic for the brand Esomeprazole strontium delayed-release capsules, 49.3 mg. However, every pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) operates differently and makes its own unique formulary decisions. Therefore, we suggest checking with a patient’s PBM when making the prescribing decision. Many will cover this product as a Tier-1 formulary item, which translates to the lowest out-of-pocket cost to patients.
My pharmacy says they cannot get esomeprazole strontium. Where can I find it?
Esomeprazole strontium is available through all major wholesalers and distributors. If your pharmacist does not have the product in stock, he or she can order it from the pharmacy’s wholesaler or local distributor.
