MIRTAZAPINE TABLET, FILM COATED [REMEDYREPACK INC.] Approximately 16% of the 453 patients who received mirtazapine in U.S. 6-week placebo-controlled clinical trials discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction, compared to 7% of the 361 placebo-treated patients in those studies. The most common reactions leading to discontinuation (≥ 1% and at a rate at least twice that of placebo) are included in Table 2. Table 2: Adverse Reactions (≥ 1% and at least twice placebo) Leading to Discontinuation of Mirtazapine in 6-Week Clinical Trials in Patients with MDD Mirtazapine (n = 453) Placebo (n = 361) Somnolence 10.4% 2.2% Nausea 1.5% 0% The most common adverse reactions (≥ 5% and twice placebo) associated with the use of mirtazapine are listed in Table 3. Table 3: Adverse Reactions (≥ 5% and twice placebo) in 6-Week U.S. Clinical Trials of Mirtazapine in Patients with MDD Mirtazapine (n = 453) Placebo (n = 361) Somnolence 54% 18% Increased Appetite 17% 2% Weight Gain 12% 2% Dizziness 7% 3% Table 4 enumerates adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 1% of mirtazapine-treated patients, and were more frequent than the placebo-treated patients, who participated in 6-week, U.S. placebo-controlled trials in which patients were dosed in a range of 5 to 60 mg/day. This table shows the percentage of patients in each group who had at least 1 episode of an adverse reaction at some time during their treatment.
