What is mirtazapine?
Mirtazapine is a medication for depression. This medicine belongs to the group of tetracyclic antidepressants. It ensures that the serotonin and noradrenaline content in the nervous system increase. This allows the nerve cells to communicate better, which has a positive effect on the state of the patient.
What is the medicine used for?
Doctors prescribe mirtazapine for depression. We are talking of a depression when someone has been knocked down for a long time, has little energy and feels helpless. Other symptoms such as sleep disturbances, nervousness or headaches may also occur. The drug normalizes the serotonin and norepinephrine content in the brain, which reduces these symptoms.
