Abstract
The invention relates to a combination comprising an amount of mirtazapine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and an amount of gepirone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, optionally in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, whereby the amount of gepirone and the amount of mirtazapine are such that the effect of the composition is more favourable than the added effects of the amounts of each drug separately. This combination can be used in the treatment of depression and related disorders, whereby the invention also provides for a new method of treatment of depression and related disorders.
