Is there a generic for mirtazapine?
Yes. Mirtazapine has generic versions available in many countries because the original brand exclusivity has expired.
What is mirtazapine generic medication called?
Mirtazapine is the active ingredient name, so the generic drug is typically labeled “mirtazapine” (for example, mirtazapine tablets/capsules). Different manufacturers may sell the same active ingredient under different generic product names.
Are there different strengths and forms of generic mirtazapine?
Generic mirtazapine products commonly come in multiple tablet strengths and can be available in different formulations depending on the market (for example, standard tablets versus other release forms where applicable).
Who makes generic mirtazapine?
Multiple manufacturers produce generic mirtazapine. If you tell me your country (and whether you have tablets or another form), I can narrow down what you should look for on local pharmacy shelves.
How do I make sure my prescription matches the generic?
Check that:
- The active ingredient is mirtazapine
- The strength matches (for example, 7.5 mg, 15 mg, 30 mg, etc.)
- The formulation matches what your prescriber intended (tablet type/release form, if specified)
