Mirtazapine 15 mg | MIRTAZPRIME 15

MIRTAZPRIME 15 is a prescription antidepressant tablet. Each tablet contains mirtazapine 15 mg. Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, makes and markets it.

Mirtazapine belongs to a class called noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs). It works differently from the more familiar SSRIs. Instead of blocking the reuptake of serotonin, mirtazapine blocks alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, which raises the release of both noradrenaline and serotonin. It also blocks certain serotonin receptors (5-HT2 and 5-HT3), so the extra serotonin acts mainly on the receptors linked to mood (5-HT1A). Blocking 5-HT3 helps limit nausea, and blocking 5-HT2 may help anxiety and sleep. Mirtazapine also blocks histamine H1 receptors, which explains its sedating effect and its ability to increase appetite.

Depression is a medical illness that involves changes in brain chemistry. It is not a weakness or a lack of willpower. Mirtazapine helps correct the chemical imbalance, and it works best together with counselling, healthy routines and family support. It is not a cure, and it should not be stopped suddenly.

Product Information 

Why Is Mirtazapine Important?

Depression affects sleep, appetite, energy, concentration and relationships, and untreated depression can seriously harm quality of life and physical health. Mirtazapine is important for these reasons.

1. Helps when sleep and appetite are affected. Many depressed patients sleep badly and lose weight. Mirtazapine's sedating and appetite-boosting effects can help with both.
2. Different mechanism from SSRIs. It offers an option for patients who do not respond to, or cannot tolerate, other antidepressants.
3. Lower chance of some SSRI-type effects. It is less likely than SSRIs to cause sexual side effects or stomach upset, although it has its own side effects.
4. Helps anxiety symptoms. Its calming action can ease anxiety and restlessness that often come with depression.
5. Useful in older adults. Doctors often choose it for older patients with poor sleep and low appetite, at carefully adjusted doses.
6. Once-daily dosing. A single bedtime tablet is easy to remember.
7. Long clinical experience. Its benefits, precautions and interactions are well documented.
