Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Humatin from Canada?
Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Humatin cost at a glance
- Humatin in the U.S.: Waylis Therapeutics lists Humatin 250 mg capsules with the FDA, in bottles of 100, under the FDA approval for Heritage's generic paromomycin (ANDA 065173) (FDA NDC Directory). The original Humatin capsules (Parke-Davis) are listed by the FDA as discontinued (FDA Orange Book). The 2026 Texas price filing has no row for Humatin, so we can't show a U.S. list price for it.
- Generic paromomycin: the 2026 Texas filing lists Heritage's paromomycin 250 mg capsules at $405.00 for 100, about $4.05 a capsule (the maker's wholesale price before discounts; Texas DSHS).
- How we compare: per capsule. The label dose for intestinal amebiasis is based on body weight (25 to 35 mg per kg a day, in three doses with meals, for 5 to 10 days). So we list each pharmacy's packs as sold and compare the price per capsule.
- From online pharmacies abroad: $4.05 to $5.17 per capsule of brand Humatin 250 mg, before shipping (checked Nov 12, 2026). The Humatin sold abroad comes from Canada. Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
- With Medicare: your cost depends on your Part D plan. In 2026, deductibles are capped at $615 and yearly out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 (Medicare.gov).

What is Humatin used for?
Humatin (paromomycin) is an antibiotic that works inside the intestine. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- To treat intestinal amebiasis, short- and long-term (it doesn't work for amebiasis outside the intestine).
- Along with other care, to manage hepatic coma (brain problems caused by severe liver disease).
The label's dose for amebiasis is based on weight and taken in three doses with meals for 5 to 10 days; for hepatic coma, adults usually take 4 grams a day for 5 to 6 days. It isn't for people who have had an allergic reaction to it or who have a blocked intestine. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Humatin from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Humatin, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic paromomycin before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Humatin 250 mg capsules are sold under the same name, listed as marketed by Searchlight Pharma (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). In the U.S., Waylis Therapeutics sells Humatin.
