Frequently asked questions

How does mirtazapine work?+
Mirtazapine works by blocking presynaptic α2‑adrenergic receptors, leading to increased release of norepinephrine and serotonin. It also antagonises 5‑HT2, 5‑HT3 and H1‑histamine receptors, which together produce antidepressant and sedative effects.
What is the usual dose of Mirtazapine Arrow?+
The appropriate dose of Mirtazapine Arrow is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, response to therapy, and any relevant medical factors. Dosage adjustments are made according to individual needs.
Is Mirtazapine Arrow safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Mirtazapine is classified as Pregnancy Category C, meaning risk cannot be ruled out. It should only be used during pregnancy or lactation if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, and this decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

Serious risks include the potential for agranulocytosis, severe hepatic dysfunction, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and the emergence or worsening of suicidal thoughts, especially during the early phase of treatment. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these occur.
Who should not use Mirtazapine Arrow?+
Mirtazapine Arrow should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to mirtazapine or any of its excipients, and in individuals currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of discontinuing an MAOI.
