Abstract
Plasma mianserin and desmethylmianserin concentrations were measured in 17 clinically depressed elderly patients after a single 30mg dose of mianserin. The patients then received mianserin 30mg daily for up to 6 weeks and the plasma concentrations were measured at weekly intervals. The relationship between concentrations of mianserin and desmethylmianserin at steady-state and at 16 and 24 hours after the single test dose was not good enough to be used for prediction of dosage requirements. Reasons for this finding are discussed.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
