Product Information for Mirtazapine Tablets

Description
Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant with a dual mode of action. It functions as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) by antagonizing adrenergic alpha2-autoreceptors and alpha2-heteroreceptors and blocking 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors. This unique mechanism helps in enhancing mood and alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
