Can I take Mirtazapine and Sukkarto together?

Why this happens

Mirtazapine can cause an increase in appetite and weight gain in some patients. Because weight and diet directly affect blood sugar levels, this can indirectly interfere with how well Sukkarto (metformin) manages your diabetes. There is also a very small risk that mirtazapine could directly affect how the body handles glucose.

What you should do

You can take these medicines together, but you should monitor your blood sugar levels more closely when you first start mirtazapine or if your dose changes. If you notice your blood sugar readings are consistently higher than usual, or if you find it difficult to manage your weight, speak with your doctor or diabetic nurse. They may need to adjust your diabetes medication or offer dietary advice.
