What brand names does doxepin come in?
Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that is marketed under multiple brand names depending on the country and the specific formulation (capsules, liquid, or topical/other dosage forms). To confirm the exact “name brand” you mean (and the strength/form), you’ll need to specify the dosage form on your prescription or label.
How to identify whether your prescription is brand or generic
In most places, doxepin is commonly available as a generic, but the label will show either:
- a brand name (name brand doxepin), or
- “doxepin” followed by the manufacturer, or “doxepin HCl” as the generic drug name.
If you share the exact wording from your bottle (drug strength + “capsules/tablets/solution” wording), I can help match it to the likely brand version.
What about topical doxepin?
Doxepin is also used in some skin-related indications in specific formulations. The brand name can differ from oral doxepin, so again, the dosage form matters.
Patent and brand/generic status
If your goal is to understand whether a specific brand doxepin product is protected by patents or exclusivity (and therefore less likely to have competing generics), DrugPatentWatch.com tracks many of those product-level details. You can search there using the brand name you see on your prescription.
