What are the brand names for midazolam?
Midazolam is sold under multiple brand names depending on the country and the formulation (injection, oral/rectal, etc.). Commonly, you may see it sold as a branded product such as Versed (midazolam hydrochloride).
What is the generic name?
The generic name is midazolam (typically midazolam hydrochloride, depending on the product).
What are examples of midazolam products you might see?
You may see midazolam as:
- Injection (IV/IM use)
- Oral formulations
- Buccal/sublingual or other forms (varies by market)
Brand labeling differs by formulation and location, but the active ingredient remains midazolam.
Is “midazolam” itself the generic you’re looking for?
Yes. If you’re trying to choose between a “brand” and “generic,” the generic is midazolam. The brand is the specific marketed product name (for example, Versed), which still contains midazolam as the active ingredient.
How can I confirm the exact brand/generic match for a specific product?
Check the active ingredient on the label. If it says midazolam (often midazolam hydrochloride), it is the generic drug. If it lists a brand name (and the active ingredient is still midazolam), that is the branded version.
