Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) used in the treatment of depressive disorders.

Major depressive disorder: alleviates depressive symptoms and improves mood in adult patients.

Mirtazapine may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Sedation or drowsiness - Increased appetite and weight gain - Dry mouth - Constipation - Dizziness - Fatigue

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Agranulocytosis or severe neutropenia - Suicidal thoughts or behavior - Severe allergic reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome) - Hepatic dysfunction - Serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic agents - Cardiac arrhythmias (rare)

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety aspects. - Assess depression severity: evaluate risk of suicide and need for close monitoring. - Monitor hepatic function: use with caution in patients with liver impairment. - Avoid abrupt discontinuation: taper dose to reduce withdrawal symptoms. - Use cautiously in the elderly: start at lower doses to minimize sedation. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Mirtazapine can interact with other medicines, requiring attention to potential risks.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): risk of serotonin syndrome. - Other serotonergic agents (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, tramadol): increased serotonin toxicity. - Central nervous system depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, alcohol): enhanced sedation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine): may increase mirtazapine levels. - Antihypertensive drugs: additive hypotensive effect. - Alcohol: may intensify central nervous system depression.
