  • an object of the invention is a new process for the preparation of adsorbates of agomelatine solutions, which comprises:
  • step (a) b. adding one or more pharmaceutically acceptable inert solid carriers to the solution obtained in step (a); c. stirring the thus obtained suspension until a powder is obtained.
