Abstract

The case of a 29-year-old patient in the 21st gestational week with severe hyperemesis gravidarum which did not respond to conventional antiemetic treatment is reported. Nausea and vomiting improved within 48 h after i.v. administration of 30 mg mirtazapine/day. The pathophysiological and therapeutic implications are discussed.
