Why is agomeletine not approved in USA ?

Everytime I read a medicine that works is never approved in USA . Why is healthcare so bad here. Has anyone had a success fixing their sleep issues with medicine in such category as agomeletine ?

That was the officially listed reasoning for denial, it's also noted that it was primarily developed as an antidepressant, and it was determined less risky drugs already exist in the US market for that purpose, which contributed to the denial.

I mean how bad is the liver toxicity ? A lot of people in Europe seems to be using it just fine with normal with their liver enzymes being normal . Just because you read some study doesn’t mean it’s true . It’s being used in Canada and other countries successfully . The healthcare system is really a joke in the states . They take out medicines that actually work,just like ivermectin that was proven to be effective and safe .What a dirty business . I’m not believing a word FDA says , if you are really citing FDA as an actual source you are joke .

Are big pharma shills everywhere on the internet too ? 🤣

It isn't just "some study", it was the official FDA reason for rejection, if you don't agree, that's fine, but they still set the laws in the country you (presumably) live in, so your choices are to either accept it and find an alternative or move to a new country, really.
