Side Effects

Drowsiness is the most frequently reported adverse reaction of this medication.

Mirtazapine decreases the adrenal glands' secretion of cortisol, but is not a favorable treatment for Cushing's Syndrome (a condition where the adrenal glands product excess adrenal steroids).

If the levels of serotonin in the brain get too high, serotonin syndrome could occur. This syndrome typically requires treatment with a combination of medications to increase serotonin.
The following reactions could be symptoms of serotonin syndrome:

• High blood pressure
• Elevated body temperature
• Difficulty breathing
• Dilated pupils
• Shivering
• Tremors
• Elevated heart rate
• General hyperactivity

If serotonin syndrome is suspected, the antidote is cyproheptadine.

When large doses are administered, this medication can cause heart rate elevation or a drop in blood pressure.

Mirtazapine could cause blood cell line abnormalities in the bone marrow.

If the animal has low platelets, leukemia, or another blood disease, mirtazapine may still be administered, but could require additional monitoring tests.

Storage

Store in a dry and cool place.

Tips

Mirtazapine may be administered with or without food.
