Is The Composition Of Lumin And Mirtazapine Similar?
Question: I am already taking 30mg Lumin at night, is that like mirtazapine?
Brief Answer:
yes somewhat like mirtazapine
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Lumin contains mianserine. Mianserin is a tetracyclic antidepressant while mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA).
Mirtazapine is similar in its biological activity to mianserin but mianserine is not used as a first line antidepressant. It is also not available everywhere. It is specifically used when person has sexual side effects with other antidepressant medicines.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
