| How is Remeron taken?
|
|
Follow the directions for taking Remeron provided by your doctor. Remeron may be taken with or without food. It is preferable to take it in the evening before you go to sleep. Even though you may begin to feel better in 1 to 4 weeks, continue taking this medication exactly as prescribed. Regular daily doses are needed for the drug to work properly. If you are using Remeron SolTabs, an orally disintegrating form of the drug, make sure your hands are dry before removing the tablet from the blister pack and immediately place the tablet on your tongue. Do not attempt to split the tablet; it will fall apart rapidly and can be swallowed with saliva.
If you miss a dose take the forgotten dose if you remember within a few hours. Otherwise, skip the dose.
Do not take
two doses at once. |
