Mirton 15mg Tablet

Mirton 15mg Tablet, made by Genome Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is an antidepressant. Its active ingredient is Mirtazapine 15mg, and it is used for depression, especially with poor sleep and appetite. Pack size: 20 tablets.

Uses of Mirton 15mg Tablet

Mirton 15mg Tablet is used to treat depression in adults. Because it tends to cause sleepiness and increase appetite, doctors often choose it for people whose depression comes with poor sleep, anxiety or weight loss. Like other antidepressants, it takes a few weeks to improve mood, though sleep may get better sooner. Treatment usually continues for several months after symptoms ease.

How Mirton 15mg Tablet works

Mirtazapine blocks certain receptors on nerve cells that normally hold back the release of noradrenaline and serotonin, so more of these mood-related messengers are released. It also blocks histamine receptors, which is why it causes drowsiness and a bigger appetite.

Possible side effects

Sleepiness and an increased appetite are the effects most people notice with Mirton 15mg Tablet. Other common side effects include:

• Drowsiness, especially early on
• Increased appetite and weight gain
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Constipation
• Swollen ankles

Contact your doctor straight away about thoughts of self-harm. Also get urgent advice for fever, sore throat or mouth ulcers, as these can be signs of a low white blood cell count, or for yellowing of the skin or a fit.

Precautions and warnings

• It is usually taken at bedtime because of its sedating effect.
• Do not stop it suddenly; your doctor will reduce it gradually.
• Avoid alcohol and do not drive until you know how it affects you, as drowsiness can carry over into the next day.
• Tell your doctor about epilepsy, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, diabetes or bipolar disorder, and about other medicines including MAOIs and other antidepressants.
• Discuss its use with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
