Pregnancy and lactation

Although studies in animals have not shown any teratogenic effects of toxicological significance, the safety of Remeron in human pregnancy has not been established. Remeron should be used during pregnancy only if it is clearly needed.
Although animal experiments show that mirtazapine is excreted only in very small amounts in the milk, the use of Remeron in nursing mothers is not recommended since no human data in breast milk are available.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Remeron may impair concentration and alertness. Patients treated with antidepressants should avoid the performance of potentially dangerous tasks, which require alertness and good concentration, such as driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery.
