Foster & Thrive Health Products

Foster & Thrive is McKesson's value line of everyday over-the-counter remedies and supplements — the store-brand equivalents of the national names people already reach for, at a lower cost per dose. If you're managing a household medicine cabinet, stocking a clinic supply closet, or refilling a long-term care cart, this is where the familiar staples live: allergy tablets, antacids, cough syrup, vitamins, and a few targeted personal-care items.

Antacids make up a good part of the range because heartburn and acid relief are such common requests. You'll find chewable calcium carbonate tablets in 500 mg, 750 mg, and combination 750 mg/300 mg strengths for fast relief, alongside famotidine-style tablets in 10 mg and 20 mg for longer-acting acid control — the same active ingredients as Tums and Pepcid, in bottle and box counts that suit both single users and higher-volume settings.

For seasonal symptoms, the Foster & Thrive Allergy Relief tablets cover both a 4 mg chlorpheniramine option (100 per bottle) and a 180 mg fexofenadine option (15 per box) — a non-drowsy choice for daytime. The Tussin Cold and Cough Syrup uses 200 mg/5 mL guaifenesin to loosen chest congestion, and everyday wellness picks like Vitamin D3 50 mcg softgels round out the routine supplements.

A few personal-care essentials fill out the line too, including a 2% miconazole nitrate vaginal antifungal with applicator and a 16 oz witch hazel astringent for skin cleansing and minor irritation.

Because these are store-brand formulations, they let facilities and families cover the same OTC needs while trimming per-unit spend. Browse the full Foster and Thrive collection to see every strength and count available, and always match the active ingredient and dosage to the product it's replacing.
