Remeron

What is it?

Composition

Remeron contains active and auxiliary components that enhance its effectiveness in treating depression. The main active ingredient is mirtazapine, which works by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. In addition to mirtazapine, the composition also includes other components that improve its absorption and action.

• Microcrystalline cellulose
• Pregelatinized starch
• Lactose monohydrate
• Magnesium stearate
• Colloidal silicon dioxide

These auxiliary substances help ensure the stability of the drug and its convenient formation into tablet form. Thanks to a carefully selected composition, Remeron has the necessary effectiveness with a minimal likelihood of side effects.

How to use?

Remeron should be used strictly according to the instructions and doctors recommendations. It is taken orally with water, observing regular intervals. This is important to maintain a constant level of the active substance in the body and achieve the best therapeutic effect.

1. Take the tablets as directed by your doctor, usually once a day, preferably at bedtime.
2. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage and do not stop taking without consulting your doctor.
3. Overdose can be dangerous, so in case of accidental overdose, seek medical help immediately.

If you miss a dose, if there are less than four hours left until the next dose, skip the forgotten dose and continue taking it as usual. Do not take double or extra doses to avoid overdose.

How does it work?

Remeron works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain, helping to restore their balance. This helps to improve mood and reduce anxiety, which is especially important for depression. Patients often notice an improvement in their condition within a few weeks of starting treatment, starting to feel calmer and more focused.

The drug works by increasing levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, two important neurotransmitters that play a key role in regulating mood and emotional state. This helps to significantly improve the quality of life for patients suffering from depression, helping them cope better with everyday stress.

However, Remeron does not work instantly, and it may take time to achieve noticeable improvements in the condition. This is why it is important to visit your doctor regularly and discuss any changes in mood or health during treatment.

The drug helps to restore interest in everyday affairs and improve mental health. It can also be used in complex therapy for various psychosomatic disorders accompanied by depression.

Despite its effectiveness, Remeron has a number of contraindications that must be taken into account before starting treatment. This is important to prevent unwanted consequences and maintain the patients health at the proper level. The main contraindications may include the following:

• Allergy to the components of the drug
• Pregnancy and lactation

Before starting to take the drug, it is important to consult a doctor and make sure there are no contraindications. This will avoid the risk of complications and make the treatment as safe and effective as possible.
