Patient/caregiver was educated on contraindications for using Mirtazapine as follows:
- Do not take mirtazapine, if you ever manifested any allergic response to intake of mirtazapine. Discuss your history of allergic response to this medication with your physician, without fail.
- In the event of any current manifestations of any allergic response with this medication, report it to your physician or other health care personnel immediately, to check regarding your safety with continuing on intake of this medication.
- Do not take mirtazapine with alcohol or opioid pain medications, such as, hydrocodone and codeine, as these products can add to the confusion caused by mirtazapine. A number of OTC cough medications, antihistamines, and antianxiety medications, can potentiate the confusion caused by mirtazapine and so, must be avoided taking along with mirtazapine.
