What excipients are in Silenor (doxepin) capsules?
Silenor (doxepin) contains inactive ingredients (“excipients”) that can vary by the exact product strength and formulation. These excipients are listed in the product’s official prescribing information and/or the patient medication guide for Silenor.
If you share the specific Silenor strength (for example, 3 mg, 6 mg, etc.) or the country/market you’re using, I can pinpoint the exact excipients for that version.
Where to find the exact excipients list for your Silenor bottle
The most reliable place to confirm excipients is:
- The Silenor package insert (prescribing information) for your country/strength
- The dispensing label/medication sheet provided by your pharmacy, which often matches the local insert
Quick clarification: “Silenor excipients” vs. “doxepin excipients”
Silenor’s active ingredient is doxepin, but excipient lists are tied to the specific capsule formulation (including dyes, fillers, coatings, and capsule shell materials). So two different doxepin products (or even different strengths of Silenor) can have different excipients.
Tell me which you have, and I’ll extract the excipients
Reply with either:
- the strength on your bottle, and your country (or paste the “Inactive ingredients” section text), or
- a photo/text of the “Inactive ingredients” lines from the insert
…and I’ll list the excipients exactly as shown.
