Information About Mirtazapine

Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder, particularly in patients with insomnia, poor appetite, and weight loss in Singapore. Available as a 15mg–45mg oral tablet taken once daily at bedtime, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its strong histamine H1 antagonism produces significant sedation and appetite stimulation — counterintuitively, lower doses (15mg) are more sedating than higher doses (30–45mg) as the noradrenergic stimulant effects counterbalance sedation at higher doses. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Mirtazapine online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
