How Remeron Soltab Affects Patients
Mirtazapine is used to treat moderate to severe depression and associated symptoms, such as disturbed sleep, lack of appetite, and anhedonia. It is important to note that taking mirtazapine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, particularly in younger people. It should not be given to children. This drug can boost appetite and reduce nausea in cancer patients. It may also improve eating habits and help with weight gain in people with anorexia nervosa. It causes drowsiness, so it can be used to treat insomnia.
How Remeron Soltab works in the body
Mirtazapine works by increasing levels of both noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain. This helps to improve symptoms of depression. Mirtazapine also blocks serotonin 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, which can make you feel more relaxed. It also blocks alpha 1 adrenergic receptors, which can cause low blood pressure and drowsiness. Finally, it may help to reduce pain by blocking opioid receptors.
