Mirtazapine is one of antidepression which is used mainly in the treatment of depression, moreover, it is sometimes used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, nausea, and vomiting, and to produce weight gain when desirable. The action of mirtazapine is an antagonist of certain adrenergic and serotonin receptors, and, furthermore, the drug is used strong as antihistamine, and it is occasionally defined as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA). The comprehensive profile of mirtazapine gives more detailed information about nomenclature, formulae, elemental analysis, and appearance. In addition, the numerous methods of drug synthesis are summarized. Also the profile covers the physicochemical properties as: the value of pK
, drug solubility, melting point, X-ray powder diffraction, and analysis methods for example: (compendial, electrochemical, spectroscopic, and method of chromatographic). Besides that, the profile covered pharmacological profile and clinical pharmacokinetics in subtitle's (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination). About 100 references were given as a proof of the above-mentioned studies.
