Frequently asked questions

What is Mirtazapine Eg used for?+
Mirtazapine Eg is used to treat major depressive disorder in adult patients. It belongs to the tetracyclic antidepressant class and helps alleviate depressive symptoms such as low mood, loss of interest, and impaired concentration.
How does Mirtazapine work?+
Mirtazapine works by blocking presynaptic α2‑adrenergic receptors, which increases the release of norepinephrine, and by antagonising serotonin 5‑HT2 and 5‑HT3 receptors. This dual action raises overall serotonin and norepinephrine activity in the brain, producing an antidepressant effect.
What is the usual dose of Mirtazapine Eg?+
The dose of Mirtazapine Eg is individualized 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.
Is Mirtazapine safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
