Immediate-release (IR) tablet

Also called: IR formulation

The standard, most commonly prescribed trazodone tablet form, which releases the full dose promptly after swallowing rather than over an extended period.

Immediate-release trazodone tablets are typically scored so they can be split if a prescriber directs it. This is the formulation used in the vast majority of both on-label depression prescriptions and off-label insomnia prescriptions in the United States.
