Doxepin Hydrochloride
Brand names: Silenor, Sinequan
126 NDCs across 23 manufacturers|120 Generic,6 Brand
Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant with two very different lives: higher-dose capsules (formerly Sinequan) for depression and anxiety, and low-dose 3/6 mg tablets (Silenor) for insomnia maintenance. A topical cream form treats itching. Because the insomnia-strength tablets and the old generic capsules are separate product families, per-unit prices in this market fall into distinct tiers rather than one continuum.
