Check Costco’s website or app for the most up-to-date price on Prevacid. Prices vary by location and time of year, so online checking is your best bet. You’ll find both the generic version (lansoprazole) and name-brand Prevacid. Expect the generic to be significantly cheaper.
Factors Affecting Price
Bulk purchasing at Costco usually results in lower per-unit cost. Consider the quantity you need. Larger packages offer better value, but only if you’ll use them before expiration. Seasonal sales or promotions can also impact pricing; look for coupons or discounts in your Costco membership mailings or app.
Comparing Prices
Compare Costco’s price to local pharmacies and online retailers. Consider shipping costs for online purchases. Factor in the convenience of buying at Costco versus the potential for savings elsewhere. Remember to account for any applicable sales tax.
Alternative Options
Explore other options for treating heartburn. Over-the-counter medications like famotidine (Pepcid) or omeprazole (Prilosec) are alternatives to Prevacid. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. A doctor can assess your specific needs and recommend the best course of action.
