What is the most common trade name for mirtazapine?
Mirtazapine is most commonly sold under the trade name Remeron and its generic equivalents (mirtazapine).
Are there other trade names for mirtazapine besides Remeron?
Yes. In different countries, mirtazapine can be marketed under additional brand names depending on local approvals, packaging, and manufacturers. Generic mirtazapine is widely available under the drug’s nonproprietary (generic) name.
How do I check the exact trade name on a prescription or package?
Look at the pharmacy label or the box for the brand name and the active ingredient. If the active ingredient listed is “mirtazapine,” then the brand name on your package is simply the specific manufacturer’s trade name (for example, Remeron).
Is Remeron the same medicine as generic mirtazapine?
Yes. Remeron is a brand of mirtazapine; generic mirtazapine contains the same active drug, though the manufacturer and tablet/capsule strength may differ.
