Why it matters

There are currently no approved pharmacotherapies for methamphetamine use disorder, a major global health problem. This trial provides evidence that mirtazapine, an accessible antidepressant, may modestly reduce methamphetamine use in routine clinical settings, offering a potential treatment option where none exists.
