About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Mirtazapine Tablets are a generic alternative to Remeron. This medication treats symptoms of moderate or severe depression. Anecdotally, evidence has suggested that this drug may also be useful in treating specific vomiting-related conditions or anorexia. It is made for veterinary use.

Key Benefits: Mirtazapine works to obstruct the intestine and stomach signals that are known to communicate with the vomit center of the brain.

Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.

How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

    What Form Does Medication Come In? Tablet

    Dose and Administration: Tablets are sold individually in 7.5 and 15 mg strengths.

    Possible Side Effects:

  • This medication may be administered to pets with leukemia, low platelets, or blood disease, but they will likely require routine monitoring.
  • In rare cases, this medication can lead to blood cell line irregularities in the animal's blood marrow.
  • When administered at a high dose, this medication can cause elevated heart rate or blood pressure drops.
  • While this medication does decrease secretion of cortisol by the adrenal glands, it is not intended to treat Cushing's disease.
  • The most commonly-reported adverse reaction associated with this drug is drowsiness.
  • When brain serotonin levels get too high, serotonin syndrome is possible. This syndrome usually requires treatment to increase these levels. If you believe your pet may have this condition, the antidote is Cyproheptadine.

  • Tremors
  • Shivering
  • Pupil dilation
  • Trouble breathing
  • Elevation in body temperature
  • High blood pressure
