What are the side effects of Mirtazapine Tablet?
When using mirtazapine, animals with a blood disorder, such as low platelets or leukemia, should be continuously watched. In the bone marrow, aberrant blood cell lines can develop. This medicine may cause blood pressure to decrease or the heart rate to increase at large dosages. Adrenal gland cortisol secretion is known to be reduced by mirtazapine. Cushing's Syndrome is a disorder in which the adrenal glands overproduce adrenal hormones. Therefore, this medication is not advised for treatment of animals with Cushing's Syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a disorder that occurs when serotonin levels in the brain become excessively high. This issue generally necessitates a mix of treatments. High blood pressure, rising body temperature, difficulty breathing, pupil dilation, shivering, tremors, rapid heart rate, and overall hyperactivity are all symptoms of serotonin syndrome. If you feel your pet is suffering from serotonin syndrome, give him an antidote of cyproheptadine. Drowsiness is the most prevalent adverse effect linked with this medicine.
