Mirtazapine is a NaSSA antidepressant that acts on noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways to treat depressive disorders. - Major depressive disorder: reduces depressive symptoms and improves overall mood in adult patients. - Acute depressive episodes associated with major depressive disorder: facilitates remission of severe depressive symptoms. - Treatment-resistant depression (as adjunct therapy): may be considered when first‑line antidepressants are insufficient.

Mirtazapine may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Drowsiness: feeling of sleepiness or fatigue. - Increased appetite: heightened hunger leading to weight gain. - Dry mouth: reduced salivation causing oral discomfort. - Constipation: slowed gastrointestinal motility.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white blood cells. - Seizures: occurrence of convulsive episodes. - Suicidal thoughts: emergence or worsening of suicidal ideation.

When prescribing mirtazapine, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to ensure patient safety. - Assess psychiatric history: evaluate for prior suicidal behavior or severe depression. - Monitor weight: watch for rapid weight gain due to increased appetite. - Evaluate hepatic function: adjust use in patients with liver impairment. - Caution in elderly: increased risk of sedation and falls. - Avoid abrupt discontinuation: taper dose to reduce withdrawal symptoms. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C in the original container, protected from moisture.

Mirtazapine can interact with other medicines, affecting its efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - MAO inhibitors: risk of hypertensive crisis; must be discontinued at least 14 days prior. - CNS depressants: additive sedation and respiratory depression. - CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine): increase mirtazapine plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Anticholinergic agents: may exacerbate dry mouth and constipation. - Alcohol: enhances sedative effects. - Warfarin: possible alteration of INR, requiring monitoring.
