Ingredients in trazodone?

Active ingredient: trazodone hydrochloride.

“Ingredients” usually means the active drug plus the inactive ingredients (excipients) used in a specific product. The exact inactive ingredients vary by manufacturer and by whether the product is immediate‑release or extended‑release. Here’s a general idea:

- Immediate‑release trazodone tablets (most generics and Desyrel-type products)
- Active: trazodone hydrochloride
- Common inactive ingredients (examples; actual products vary): lactose or other fillers, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone or other binders, disintegrants such as crospovidone or croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate (lubricant), and sometimes colorants like titanium dioxide.

- Extended‑release trazodone (e.g., Oleptro)
- Active: trazodone hydrochloride
- Inactive ingredients often include polymers/binders for controlled release (such as certain hypromellose or other coating polymers), fillers like microcrystalline cellulose, lubricants like magnesium stearate, and colorants.

Because excipients differ by brand and strength, the exact list should be taken from the product’s labeling or package insert. If you tell me the exact product name and strength (for example, which brand and 50 mg, 100 mg, etc.), I can look up the precise ingredient list. If you’re checking for allergies (lactose, dyes, gluten, etc.), always check the specific label or patient information leaflet for that product.
