Introduction
Agotine 25mg Tablet helps treat depression. It reduces and gradually eliminates the symptoms of depression such as deep sadness, feelings of worthlessness, loss of interest in activities, sleep disturbances, tiredness, feelings of anxiety, and weight changes.
Agotine 25mg Tablet may be taken with or without food preferably at bedtime. However, it is advised to take it at a fixed time each day to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the blood. If you have missed any doses, take it as soon as you remember and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.

Be vigilant about unusual darkening or any changes in the color of your urine, light-colored stools, yellowing of skin or eyes, pain in the upper right part of your stomach, and unusual fatigue as this could be signs of liver problems.
It is important to inform your doctor if you develop any unusual changes in mood or behavior, new or worsening depression, or suicidal thoughts. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.
