Frequently asked questions

What is Mirtazapin Hcs used for?+
Mirtazapin Hcs contains the antidepressant mirtazapine and is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adult patients. It helps alleviate depressive symptoms, improve sleep quality, and may also reduce associated anxiety.
How does mirtazapine work?+
Mirtazapine works by blocking presynaptic α2‑adrenergic receptors, which increases norepinephrine release, and by antagonizing postsynaptic 5‑HT2 and 5‑HT3 receptors. This dual action enhances overall serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission, leading to mood improvement.
What is the usual dose of Mirtazapin Hcs?+
The dose of Mirtazapin Hcs is individualized and set by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, response, and tolerability. The prescriber determines the appropriate starting dose and any subsequent adjustments.

Safety data for mirtazapine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.
