Mirtazapine (brand names: Avanza Axit Mirtaz Mirtazon Remeron Zispin) is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) that was introduced by Organon International in the United States in 1996 and is used primarily in the treatment of depression. It is also commonly used as an anxiolytic hypnotic antiemetic and appetite stimulant. In terms of structure mirtazapine can also be classified as a tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA) and is the 6-aza analogue of mianserin.
