What other names does midazolam go by?

Midazolam is also sold under different brand names depending on the country and formulation. Common alternative names you may see include:

- Dormicum (brand name in many markets)
- Midazolam hydrochloride (a frequent “other name” used on labels for the salt form)

What does “midazolam” mean on prescriptions—generic vs brand?

If a prescription says “midazolam,” it usually refers to the generic drug name. If it says “Dormicum,” that’s typically a brand name for midazolam. Some products may list the salt form (midazolam hydrochloride) even though the active drug is still midazolam.

Does midazolam have different names by form (IV, oral, nasal)?

The drug name generally stays the same (midazolam or midazolam hydrochloride), but product names can differ by formulation (for example, injection vs oral preparations), which affects what “other name” appears on packaging in your country.

Quick check: what to look for on the package or label

If you’re trying to confirm it’s the same medication, look for the active ingredient:
- midazolam or midazolam hydrochloride

That wording indicates the same drug even if the brand name differs.
