Is mirtazapine generic or brand name?

Is mirtazapine a generic drug or a brand drug?

Mirtazapine is a generic medication name. It is commonly sold under brand names that vary by country and manufacturer.

What brand names does mirtazapine have?

One well-known brand name for mirtazapine in many markets is Remeron. The same active ingredient—mirtazapine—can be sold both as generics and as brand-name products.

How can I tell if my prescription is generic or brand?

Your prescription label or box will typically say either:
- “mirtazapine” (generic), or
- the brand name (for example, Remeron).

In many places, pharmacists can substitute a generic for a brand unless the prescription specifies “no substitution” or “dispense as written.”
