Mirnate Meltab-30

Uses
Mirnite Meltab-30 (Mirtazapine) is indicated for the treatment of depressive illness. Its therapeutic effects are achieved by increasing the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain. The primary active ingredient in this medicine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (often abbreviated to NaSSA) which is known to function as an antagonist of the 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors in the brain. Its effects on the receptors in the brain are believed to trigger an increase in the activity of noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain.

A disruption in the natural balance of these neurotransmitters is believed to be a key factor in depression, and by helping to restore the natural equilibrium of neurotransmitters, this medicine can help improve the mood and relieve the symptoms of depression. Doctors have also treated patients for other conditions with this medicine, as it is said to have many off label uses. Medical experts have researched additional medical uses for this medicine, focusing on its potential if used for anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, migraine headaches, insomnia, OCD and other medical disorders.
