Is mirtazapine a generic drug?

Is mirtazapine available as a generic?

Yes. Mirtazapine is available as a generic medication in many countries, including the United States. [1]

What brand names does generic mirtazapine come from?

In the U.S., the best-known brand is Remeron. Generic “mirtazapine” products are marketed as the same active ingredient as Remeron (though not necessarily identical in all inactive components). [1]

How can you tell if your prescription is generic?

Look for the medication name on the label. If it says “mirtazapine” (often “mirtazapine tablets” or “mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets”), it’s the generic active ingredient. If it says “Remeron,” it’s the brand. [1]

Does generic mirtazapine work the same as the brand?

Generic mirtazapine is required to match the brand in key ways such as active ingredient and dosage form, so it should have the same intended effect when taken as prescribed. [1]
