What is the generic name for Pamelor?

Pamelor is the brand name for nortriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant). [1]

Why does Pamelor’s “generic name” matter in prescriptions?

When a prescription says Pamelor, the pharmacist will look for the matching generic drug: nortriptyline. That’s why you may see the medication written as either nortriptyline or nortriptyline hydrochloride on labels. [1]

Is “Pamelor” the same as “nortriptyline” in every country?

Yes, Pamelor is a brand name, and nortriptyline is the generic drug name for the same active ingredient. Brand availability varies by country, but the generic name does not. [1]
