What is mirtaz?

Mirtazapine is a medication used to treat depression. It belongs to a class of drugs called tetracyclic antidepressants (TeCAs). Mirtazapine works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, two neurotransmitters that are involved in regulating mood.

Mirtazapine is usually taken once daily at bedtime, and it may take several weeks for the medication to take full effect. Common side effects of mirtazapine include drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain. In some cases, it may also cause dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision.

Mirtazapine can interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss any other medications or supplements you are taking with your doctor before starting treatment with mirtazapine. It is also important to follow your doctor's instructions for taking the medication and to report any side effects to your doctor.
