Were you looking for information about
Mirtazapine? Mirtazepine is a common misspelling of mirtazapine.
Mirtazapine (
Remeron®) is used to treat the
symptoms of depression, which can be caused when certain chemicals of the brain become unbalanced. Although it is not entirely clear how the drug works, it is believed to help keep levels of norepinephrine and serotonin balanced.
The medication comes in tablet form and as an orally disintegrating tablet that is taken once a day. Because mirtazapine can interact with other medications, it is important to tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
If you have certain medical conditions, such as liver or kidney problems, you may not be able to take this medicine. Also, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking mirtazapine.
