The US government is buying millions of dollars of an old antidepressant

The US government awarded a contract for over $14 million to buy trazodone, an antidepressant first approved in 1981. This means the drug will be supplied to government facilities, likely for use in federal healthcare systems.

This is a routine procurement for a widely used generic drug. It shows the ongoing demand for established medications within government healthcare. The contract ensures a steady supply of a drug that helps with depression and insomnia.
