Uses and Administration
Uses and Administration
Mianserin is a tetracyclic antidepressant. It does not appear to have significant antimuscarinic properties, but has a marked sedative action. Unlike the tricyclic antidepressants, mianserin does not prevent the peripheral reuptake of noradrenaline; it blocks presynaptic adrenergic receptors and increases the turnover of brain noradrenaline. Mianserin is also an antagonist of postsynaptic serotonin receptors in some parts of the brain.
In the treatment of depression mianserin hydrochloride is given by mouth in initial doses of 30 to 40 mg daily increased gradually thereafter as necessary. The effective daily dosage is usually between 30 and 90 mg. The daily dosage may be divided throughout the day or given as a single dose at night. Divided daily dosages of up to 200 mg have been given. The recommended initial daily dose in the elderly is not more than 30 mg, which may be slowly increased if necessary.
Mianserin should be withdrawn gradually to reduce the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
