Remeron

What is Remeron?

Remeron can be described as an antidepressant. The mechanism of action of mirtazapine isn't completely known. It is believed to enhance nerve cell communication in the brain's central nervous system. It may also restore the chemical balance in the brain. Remeron is a prescription medicine that is used to treat a specific type of depression, known as major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It is unclear whether Remeron is efficient and safe for treating MDD in children.
