Mirtazapine is a second-generation antidepressant agent. Mirtazapine is also classified as a tricyclic antidepressant by the National Library of Medicine in the United States of America.[1]
History
Remeron brand of mirtazapine was approved for Organon USA by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States of America with a New Drug Application (NDA) in 1996.[2] A generic version with a AB Therapeutic Equivalence Code was approved for Glenmark Generics with a Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) in 2004.[3]
Effectiveness
"The clinical response of our patients underscores the usefulness of mirtazapine in the treatment of the comorbid symptoms of weight loss, insomnia, and anxiety". [4]
Pharmacology
Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA).[5]
Administration
Distribution
Metabolism
Excretion
Toxicity
Drug toxicity is similar to tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline, mirtazapine, and paroxetine may case more weight gain than other antidepressants according to a meta-analysis.[6]
Compared to other antidepressants, a second meta-analysis found that mirtazapine was "more likely to cause weight gain or increased appetite and somnolence than SSRIs but less likely to cause nausea or vomiting and sexual dysfunction."[5]
Mirtazapine can cause elevated liver function tests and neutropenia[7]
