mirtazapine and Rhabdomyolysis

mirtazapine has been researched along with Rhabdomyolysis in 6 studies

Mirtazapine: A piperazinoazepine tetracyclic compound that enhances the release of NOREPINEPHRINE and SEROTONIN through blockage of presynaptic ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS. It also blocks both 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 serotonin receptors and is a potent HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTOR antagonist. It is used for the treatment of depression, and may also be useful for the treatment of anxiety disorders.

Rhabdomyolysis: Necrosis or disintegration of skeletal muscle often followed by myoglobinuria.
