Mianserin Hydrochloride

Ultraviolet spectrophotometric method for analytical determination of mianserin hydrochloride in coated tablets and comparison with LC

Ultraviolet spectrophotometric (UV) and Liquid Chromatographic (LC) methods for the determination of mianserin hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulation were developed and validated. The various parameters, such as specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy were studied according to International Conference on Harmonization (ICH, 2005). For UV method, mianserin hydrochloride was determina...

Hepatic injury caused by mianserin.

Mianserin and agranulocytosis.

An alcoholic woman who was admitted to hospital for detoxification was prescribed thyroxine because of hypothyroidism and mianserin to alleviate severe depression. After several weeks' treatment she became unwell and was readmitted to hospital. Haematological examination indicated agranulocytosis. Further extensive investigations elicited no cause for this other than the mianserin, since no suc...

Ventricular Fibrillation Caused by Mianserin Poisoning

Case: A 56-year-old man who revived after ventricular fibrillation was transferred to the emergency center at Kansai Medical University. The blood examination, computed tomography, and cardiac echocardiography at the time admission could not detect the cause of ventricular fibrillation. However, high-performance liquid chromatography revealed mianserin and aripiprazole in his serum. The concent...

Effect of mianserin on blood glucose level in rabbits.

Blood glucose level was estimated in 18 h fasted albino rabbits following acute feeding of graded doses of mianserin. Mianserin (6.0 mg/kg) produced a gradually increasing hyperglycemic effect which became significant (P < 0.01) at 10 h and onwards. This appears to be due to increased turnover and release of noradrenaline by the drug. The same dose of mianserin also produced glucose intolerance...
