Description
Valdoxan is a prescription antidepressant medication used to treat depression and is particularly effective for treating depression with anxiety. This medication was developed for patients with major depressive disorder, but as the first antidepressant with a non-monoaminergic component it is often a strong fit for major depression patients who also have severe anxiety along with their depression. Valdoxan 25mg is formulated to work as a MT1 and MT2 melatonergic receptors agonist and a 5-HT2C antagonist that re-synchronizes circadian rhythms in depressed patients.
Directions
Standard dosage is to take 1 Valdoxan 25mg once daily at bedtime. Dosage may vary depending on your doctor's determination and you should always take your medication exactly as indicated in your prescription.
Dosage may be adjusted to 50 mg (2 x 25 mg tablets) taken at bedtime if agomelatine treatment has no effect after two weeks.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Valdoxan is Agomelatine.
Cautions
