Generic drug

A medication containing the same active ingredient, strength, and dosage form as a brand-name drug, approved by the FDA as therapeutically equivalent. Trazodone has been available as a generic for decades.

Trazodone was originally marketed under the brand name Desyrel. Generic trazodone hydrochloride tablets are now made by multiple manufacturers and are typically far less expensive than any remaining brand-name product.
