Remeron 30mg
Remeron 30mg is one of 4 strengths in which Remeron (Mirtazapine) is supplied. The full range is 7.5mg, 15mg, 30mg, 45mg. This page covers what the 30mg strength is used for and how it fits into typical dosing.
Forms and dosages
Remeron is supplied as immediate-release tablets in 7.5, 15, 30 and 45mg strengths and as 15/30/45mg orally disintegrating tablets (SolTab). Depression typically starts at 15mg at bedtime, titrated to 30–45mg based on response. The 7.5mg dose is sometimes used for sleep initiation. Once-daily bedtime dosing exploits the sedating effect; food slightly delays peak but does not affect overall absorption.
Indications
Remeron is approved for major depressive disorder. It is widely used off-label for depression with insomnia, depression in elderly patients with poor appetite, depression in patients intolerant of SSRI sexual side effects, and as adjunctive sleep agent in psychiatric practice. According to clinical guidelines, mirtazapine is often considered second-line in major depression but is first-line where its sedating, appetite-stimulating profile aligns with the patient's symptoms.
