Mylan M 545 Round Beige Pill

What is M 545 Pill? What kind of medication is the round beige pill one side of which is debossed with "M" over "545", and the other side is blank?

Mylan' M 545 pill is 45 mg Mirtazapine (generic for Remeron). It is a tetracyclic antidepressant used for treatment of major depressive disorder. The medication works by increasing the activity of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, which helps to elevate mood. Each round beige pill marked with "M 545" contains 45 mg of Mirtazapine.

45 mg of Mirtazapine in M 545 pills is the maximum dose of the medication that can be taken during the day. Mirtazapine is normally administered in dose of 15 mg daily, although the dose can be increased to the maximum by weekly increments. The drug is usually taken in the evening before going to bed. The treatment is effective during a period of up to 40 weeks.

Mirtazapine is also available in form of orally disintegrating tablets (Remeron SolTab). Prior to being swallowed, each disintegrating tablets has to be placed on the tongue and given time to dissolve a little.

Mirtazapine (Remeron) should not be combined with:

alcohol

CNS depressants (such as Alprazolam, Diazepam, or Lorazepam)

hydantoins (e.g., Phenytoin)

MAOIs (e.g., isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate)) and

serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., Fluoxetine, or Fluvoxamine).

You benefit directly when Mylan Generics are used in place of name-brand medicines. First, because you will be receiving a high quality medicine, and second, because Mylan Generics, including Mylan's Mirtazapine M 545 pills, are generally more affordable.

The manufacturing facilities of all pharmaceutical companies - those making name-brand drugs and those making equivalent alternatives - are routinely inspected by the FDA. These savings are the result of Mylan's good, old-fashioned, American competition. As you can well appreciate, when there is more than one company manufacturing and/or selling the same product, the competition generally results in cost savings for the consumer.

However, you may try and order Mirtazapine (Remeron) marketed by other manufacturers, too!
