Frequently asked questions

What is Mirtazapine Sandoz 30 used for?+
Mirtazapine Sandoz 30 is a prescription tablet containing the antidepressant mirtazapine. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adult patients, helping to alleviate depressive symptoms and improve mood.
How does mirtazapine work?+
Mirtazapine works by blocking presynaptic α2‑adrenergic receptors, which increases norepinephrine release, and by antagonising serotonergic 5‑HT2 and 5‑HT3 receptors as well as H1 histamine receptors. This combined action enhances serotonergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission, contributing to its antidepressant effect.
What is the usual dose of Mirtazapine Sandoz 30?+
The appropriate dose of Mirtazapine Sandoz 30 is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual patient's condition, response, and tolerability. Dosage adjustments are made according to clinical judgment and patient needs.
