MedKoo Cat#: 526040 | Name: Mirtazapine dihydrochloride

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Mirtazapine is an atypical antidepressant with noradrenergic and specific serotonergic activity. It works by blocking the α2 adrenergic auto- and heteroreceptors (enhancing serotonin release), and selectively antagonizing the 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 serotonin receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. It also enhances serotonin neurotransmission at the 5-HT1 receptor and blocks the histaminergic (H1) and muscarinic receptors. Mirtazapine is not a serotonin or norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
