My friend is currently on medication for depression and he's taking Valdoxan (agomelatine) for 25mg/1 tablet per day, before sleep.

Previously, he took Escitalopram 10mg before sleep, but that medication doesn't work on him, so the doctor changed to Valdoxan, and that works.

He is a patient from a semi government hospital (prefer not to mention hospital name due to privacy) and has a doctor prescription letter from the hospital, but he finds that the medication is too expensive in the long term. It costs RM120+ per box consists 28 tablets, which is 1 month dosage.

He did consider transfer to another hospital, but set an appointment date to see a doctor in that hospital is 2-3 months away, and he's having financial issue to continue purchasing the medication from his current hospital. He contacted all of government hospitals nearby his area, but their quota for Valdoxan has already full. Meaning, he will not be getting the same medicine if he transfer to government hospital. He has no side effects taking Valdoxan, so he don't plan to try other medication and he doesn't want to risk taking other medicine as he worried on potential negative side effects of the other medication that he did not partake before.

Is there any other alternative hospital/pharmacy that he can purchase Valdoxan at much lowest price possible? Or anything you can advise him to do?

hmm....seems like he is taking it from ummc? Well, you can try going to mental asylum for getting medicines. (they give it out for free there, but of course you need a referral letter or prescription to be able to get the medicines) rclxms.gif
