homework before taking remeron

Remeron is known to be:


  1. Serotonergic
  2. Nonadraenergic (not related to adraneline)



It may cause agranulocytosis, or low white blood cell,  as side effect, albeit rare: one in 1000. It is also reversible.


The elimination half-life is 20 to 40 hours, so a steady state is reached in about 5 days



It is metabolized in the liver via the P450 cytochome oridase pathway
