<p>The Department fully understands that maintaining access to agomelatine for the
management of major depression is vitally important to many people in this country.</p><p>We
are aware that Teva a supplier of generic agomelatine 25mg tablets discontinued supplies
in July 2019. However, we can confirm that supplies of agomelatine 25mg tablets are
currently available from several other suppliers in volumes that are sufficient to
meet normal United Kingdom demand. All patients who require agomelatine should be
able to obtain a supply from their pharmacy.</p><p>We continue to work closely with
industry and partners in the health system to help prevent shortages and to ensure
that the risks to patients are minimised when supply issues do arise.</p>
