4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults_
The effective daily dose is usually between 15 and 45 mg; the starting
dose is 15 or 30 mg. Zismirt orotab begins to exert its
effect in general after 1-2 weeks of treatment. Treatment with an
adequate dose should result in a positive response within 2-4
weeks. With an insufficient response, the dose can be increased up to
the maximum dose. If there is no response within a
further 2-4 weeks, then treatment should be stopped.
Patients with depression should be treated for a sufficient period of
at least 6 months to ensure that they are free from
symptoms.
It is recommended to discontinue treatment with mirtazapine gradually
to avoid withdrawal symptoms (see section 4.4).
_Elderly_
The recommended dose is the same as that for adults. In elderly
patients an increase in dosing should be done under close
supervision to elicit a satisfactory and safe response.
_Renal_ impairment
The clearance of mirtazapine may be decreased in patients with
moderate to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <
40 ml/min). This should be taken into account when prescribing
mirtazapine to this category of patients (see section 4.4).
_Hepatic impairment_
The clearance of mirtazapine may be decreased in patients with hepatic
impairment. This should be taken into account when
prescribing mirtazapine to this category of patients,
