Valdoxan (Agomelatine) comes in the form of a film-coated tablet and is taken orally. It may be taken with or without food, as advised by a doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the use and dosage of Valdoxan. Treatment should not be started or should be stopped in patients with abnormal liver enzyme levels in the blood (more than three times the normal level).
The recommended dose is one tablet once a day, taken at bedtime. The usual recommended dose is one tablet of 25mg taken orally once daily, at bedtime. It may be taken with or without food. If there is no improvement in symptoms after two weeks, the doctor may increase the dose to two tablets taken together at bedtime. Patients with depression should be treated for at least six months to ensure they are free of symptoms.
Follow the instructions of your doctor regarding the use of Valdoxan, and to not take more or less of it than prescribed. Also, do not stop taking the medication abruptly without discussing it with your doctor first, as this may cause withdrawal symptoms.
