Valdoxan (Agomelatine)

Valdoxan is an antidepressant medication available by prescription and used to treat depression and often prescribed for depression with anxiety treatment. This medication first came to market targeting patients having major depressive disorder, but as the first antidepressant with a non-monoaminergic component it soon after showed promise for major depression disorder with severe anxiety treatment. Valdoxan 25mg works as a MT1 and MT2 melatonergic receptors agonist and this 5-HT2C antagonist e-synchronizes circadian rhythms for less depression severity and reduced anxiety levels.

Dosage may be adjusted to 50 mg (2 x 25 mg tablets) taken at bedtime if after 2 weeks agomelatine treatment has not been effective enough for depression / anxiety relief.
