Par Pharmaceutical has announced that its licensing partner Amide Pharmaceutical has received FDA approval to market a generic version of Remeron, an antidepressant made by Akzo Nobel unit Organon International.

Par said Amide will market a generic version of Organon's orally disintegrating Remeron SolTab, also know by its active ingredient mirtazapine, in 15-, 30- and 45-mg doses. Amide will begin shipping all doses of the drug shortly.

Works 100% like the original - I can atest to that. Haven't tried the generic sol-tab - but the Organon version is good - I actually prefer it.
