How should this medicine be used?
Mirtazapine comes as a tablet and as a disintegrating tablet to
take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day at bedtime. It
may be taken with or without food. Follow the directions on
your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or
pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take
mirtazapine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it
or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
To take a mirtazapine disintegrating tablet, open the blister
pack with dry hands and place the tablet on your tongue. The
tablet will disintegrate on the tongue and can be swallowed
with saliva. No water is needed to swallow disintegrating
tablets. Once the tablet is removed from the blister pack, it
cannot be stored. Do not split mirtazapine disintegrating
tablets.
Continue to take mirtazapine even if you feel well. Do not stop
taking mirtazapine without talking to your doctor, especially
if you have taken large doses for a long time. Your doctor
probably will decrease your dose gradually. This drug must be
taken regularly for a few weeks before its full effect is
felt.
