Mirtazapine may be a strong enemy of 5- HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors. Mirtazapine has no critical partiality for the 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors.

Mirtazapine shows direct pharmacokinetics inside the suggested dosage extend. Mirtazapine is broadly metabolized and dispensed with through the pee and dung four days.
