What ingredients are in trazodone?
Trazodone is a prescription antidepressant. The exact “ingredients” depend on the product form and brand (for example, immediate-release tablets vs extended-release tablets), because the active drug is the same but the inactive ingredients (binders, fillers, coatings) can differ.
Most trazodone products contain:
- Trazodone (the active ingredient)
- Inactive ingredients used to make and deliver the tablet/capsule (these vary by manufacturer and formulation)
Is the ingredient list the same for all trazodone pills?
No. The active ingredient is trazodone, but inactive ingredients vary across:
- Strength (e.g., 50 mg vs 100 mg)
- Formulation type (immediate-release vs extended-release)
- Manufacturer/brand
That’s why two trazodone prescriptions can list different “inactive ingredients” even though they contain the same active drug.
What should I check on the label to see trazodone’s ingredients?
To get the precise ingredient list for your specific prescription, check:
- The “Drug Facts” or prescribing/consumer medication insert that came with your bottle
- The package labeling for your exact product name, strength, and dosage form
- The inactive-ingredient section (often listed as “Inactive ingredients”)
Where can I find the inactive ingredients for my specific trazodone?
If you tell me the exact product (brand name or the imprint on the tablet, plus strength and whether it’s ER/extended-release), I can help you identify what to look for on the official label.
