mianserin and Glaucoma, Angle Closure

mianserin has been researched along with Glaucoma, Angle Closure in 2 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This case report describes a patient with major depressive disorder, who experienced AAC after the first dosage of mirtazapine treatment, and highlights the importance of close monitoring of individuals under antidepressant treatment particularly immediately after initiation of the drug."1.42Mirtazapine-induced acute angle closure. ( Durmaz, O; Durna, MM; Kahraman, N, 2015)
"We think that acute angle closure glaucoma might be a rare complication of mianserin in narrow angle glaucoma patients, in whom laser iridotomy is advisable."1.28[Glaucoma following the antidepressant mianserin]. ( Kinek, M, 1990)
