Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Famotidine at roughly $0.009 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.

We found Canadian pricing for Famotidine starting near $0.060 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.

Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

The cost of Famotidine with insurance depends entirely on the details of your specific plan, such as your deductible, copay, or coinsurance requirements. For an exact price, you should contact your insurance provider directly. It's also worth noting that the price you pay with insurance may sometimes be higher than the discounted cash price available through other pharmacy savings programs. Checking the price with a discount card alongside your insurance copay can help you identify the most economical option for each fill.

Most Medicare Part D prescription drug plans include coverage for Famotidine. Your out-of-pocket cost will be determined by your plan's specific formulary and benefit phase (e.g., deductible, copay, or coinsurance). In some cases, a pharmacy discount card may offer a price lower than your Medicare copay. To compare, you can ask your pharmacist to run the prescription cost using your Medicare information and then check the price using a separate savings card to see which is lower for that particular fill.
