What is FAMOTIDINE OMEGA -(WITH PRESERVATIVE,BENZYL ALCOHOL)?
FAMOTIDINE OMEGA -(WITH PRESERVATIVE,BENZYL ALCOHOL) 10 MG contains FAMOTIDINE : 10 MG. It is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02247745, held by OMEGA LABORATORIES LIMITED, supplied as SOLUTION for INTRAVENOUS administration. Health Canada currently lists it as marketed, status dated 31-Oct-2003. Nexara Health is a licensed Canadian wholesale distributor (DEL 3-002896-A) and can source this product for hospitals, pharmacies and clinics. Availability and lead time are confirmed per order.
What is FAMOTIDINE OMEGA -(WITH PRESERVATIVE,BENZYL ALCOHOL) used for?
Famotidine is indicated in the treatment of the following conditions where a controlled reduction of gastric secretion is required: 1. Treatment of acute duodenal ulcer; 2. Prophylactic use in duodenal ulcer; 3. Treatment of acute benign gastric ulcer; 4. Treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions (e.g., Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome); 5. Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); 6. Maintenance of remission of patients with GERD. Famotidine injection is indicated in some hospitalized patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions or intractable ulcers, or as an alternative to the oral dosage form for short-term use in patients who are unable to take oral medication.
Authorized indication as written in the Health Canada product monograph. For healthcare professionals and licensed purchasers; this is not medical advice.
How much does Famotidine cost around the world?
Famotidine is listed on 11 of the national price registers Nexara ingests. Each country publishes on a different basis, so those figures are not comparable with one another — or with a Canadian wholesale price.
What a market publishes matters more than the number it publishes. Australia publishes a ex-manufacturer; Austria publishes a KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis); Bahrain publishes a retail (max). Comparing an ex-factory ceiling against a pharmacy public price tells you nothing about either, and comparing either against a Canadian landed cost tells you less.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | acquisition | 5 | 112 | USD███.██ |
| Saudi Arabia | public | 11 | 21 | SAR███.██ |
| Austria | KVP (Kassenverkaufspreis) | 9 | 18 | EUR███.██ |

184 pack listings across 47 brand entries and 10 price bases, refreshed 08 Sep 2026. Ranges span every Famotidine pack in that market, so a high figure is usually a larger pack rather than the same product.
Canada publishes no comparable public list price. For a delivered Canadian price on a licensed account, verify your licence — it takes about a minute.
Is there a generic Famotidine in Canada, and who makes it?
Every market authorization holder with a Canadian DIN for this molecule, and how many of their listings Health Canada currently shows as marketed.
27 holders have a Canadian DIN containing Famotidine, across 68 DINs, of which 17 are currently marketed. Marketed count is the number that matters: an approval that is not marketed cannot be bought.

Health Canada’s Drug Product Database does not flag which listing is the originator and which are subsequent-entry products, so Nexara does not label them here. Interchangeability is determined provincially, not federally — confirm for your province before a formulary switch. Nexara can confirm which of these is actually obtainable, and on what lead time, per order.
How is it supplied and stored?
Pack configuration, storage class and the handling constraints that drive cold-chain planning. One DIN can cover more than one pack size, and the pack — not the DIN — is what gets priced, shipped and invoiced.
| Strength on the label | 10 MG |
|---|---|
| Dosage form | SOLUTION |
| Route | INTRAVENOUS |
| Pack configuration (monograph) | 10 x 2 mL vials; 4 mL vials; 20 mL vials |
| Storage | Store between 2 and 8°C. Protect from light. Do not freeze. |
Before an order line is unambiguous Nexara needs the strength, the pack size and the presentation.

Is Famotidine in shortage in Canada?
A Canadian shortage report is on file for a product containing this molecule: Active — reported by OMEGA LABORATORIES LIMITED (Tier 3 shortage FAMOTIDINE OMEGA -(WITHOUT PRESERVATIVE)" aria-label="Actual Tier 3 shortage FAMOTIDINE OMEGA -(WITHOUT), last seen 04 Sep 2026. A shortage on one presentation does not always affect every DIN of the molecule — the alternatives below list what else is marketed in Canada. Nexara can confirm current availability and identify substitutions or import options where permitted.

What can be used instead?
Alternatives on every axis a buyer actually considers — the same molecule in another presentation, the same class, an adjacent class, or a fixed-dose combination. Every row is led by the marketed DIN count, because that is what can be bought this week.

A molecule with zero marketed DINs cannot be sourced domestically, however many approvals it holds — if one of these sits on a formulary or in an older protocol, that is the line to check.

Ordering questions
Who can buy this from Nexara?
Licensed entities only. Nexara holds Health Canada establishment licence DEL 3-002896-A and ships only to a licensed address. Patients and unlicensed buyers are routed to a partner pharmacy.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, set per product line and per pack multiple rather than on the order total, so you are never asked to buy a part-pack. The minimum for this line is confirmed with your quote.
What is the lead time?
Confirmed per order at quotation, and it depends on current stock position and whether the product is in shortage.
Why is there no price on this page?
Nexara quotes a delivered Canadian price per order, against a verified licence. Foreign list prices are published on incompatible bases and are not a guide to what any buyer can obtain here, so this page shows which markets list the molecule and on what basis, and nothing more.
Can Nexara supply this for a clinical trial?
Yes — comparator and background-therapy supply, including sourcing from other markets where a Canadian pack will not satisfy the protocol. Clinical trial supply.
