Description
Mizest 15mg (Mirtazapine) is an antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder and related mood disorders. It works by increasing serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain, improving mood, sleep, and appetite. Suitable for adults, Mizest is typically taken once daily, often at bedtime due to its sedative effects. It is effective in relieving symptoms like sadness, loss of interest, and fatigue, with benefits often seen within weeks. Common side effects include drowsiness, weight gain, and dry mouth, while serious risks like suicidal thoughts or serotonin syndrome require immediate attention. It is not recommended for patients with recent monoamine oxidase inhibitor use or certain heart conditions. Gradual dose reduction is needed to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Consult a doctor for use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with liver/kidney issues.
