Mirtazapin "sandoz" (Mirtazapine)

Mirtazapine works by blocking presynaptic α2‑adrenergic receptors, leading to increased release of norepinephrine and serotonin. It also antagonises postsynaptic 5‑HT2 and 5‑HT3 receptors, which reduces inhibitory serotonergic activity and contributes to its antidepressant and anxiolytic properties. This dual mechanism classifies it as a NaSSA agent.

The exact dose of Mirtazapin Sandoz is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the individual’s clinical condition, response, and tolerability. Physicians typically start with a low dose and may adjust gradually, but specific dosing regimens should only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional.

Safety data for mirtazapine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is classified as a pregnancy category with unknown risk, so clinicians must weigh potential benefits against possible risks to the fetus or infant. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician, as the drug can be excreted in breast milk.

Compared with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), mirtazapine has a distinct mechanism that often results in higher rates of sedation and weight gain but may be better tolerated in patients who experience sexual dysfunction or gastrointestinal side effects with SSRIs. Choice of therapy depends on individual symptom profile, comorbidities, and physician judgment.

Mirtazapin Sandoz should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Do not store in bathrooms or near heat sources. Keep the product out of reach of children and check the expiry date before use.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily in the evening, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider. Consistent timing helps maintain stable plasma levels and may improve sleep quality.

Serious adverse reactions, although rare, include agranulocytosis, severe hypotension, seizures, hepatic dysfunction, and the emergence or worsening of suicidal thoughts, especially during early treatment. Patients should be monitored closely for any signs of infection, liver problems, or abrupt mood changes, and seek medical attention promptly if they occur.

Mirtazapin Sandoz is contraindicated in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to mirtazapine or any of its excipients. It should also be avoided in individuals currently taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or who have recently discontinued an MAOI within the past 14 days. Caution is advised for those with severe liver impairment or uncontrolled hypertension.
