POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
_ _
_Adults _
The effective daily dose is usually between 15 and 45 mg; the starting
dose is 15 or
30mg.
Mirtazapine 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.

patients (see section
4.4).

The clearance of mirtazapine may be decreased in patients with hepatic
impairment.
This should be taken into account when prescribing mirtazapine to this
