Can I take Agomelatine and Esomeprazole together?

Por qué sucede esto

Agomelatine is broken down in the liver primarily by an enzyme called CYP1A2. Esomeprazole can slightly interfere with (inhibit) this enzyme, which means the body processes agomelatine more slowly than usual.

This interaction is generally considered minor, and most people can take both safely. However, you should monitor yourself for any increased side effects. If you feel unusually drowsy or dizzy, speak to your doctor. It is also important to avoid smoking while taking agomelatine, as smoking has a much larger effect on this medication than esomeprazole does.
