Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant medication approved for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is often chosen for patients who cannot tolerate stimulant medications or are seeking a non-controlled option for managing ADHD.
Atomoxetine works by selectively inhibiting norepinephrine reuptake, helping to improve attention, concentration, and impulse control over time.
How to Use:
Atomoxetine is taken by mouth, typically once daily. The dose may be adjusted gradually up to a maximum of 100 mg per day, depending on individual response and tolerability as determined by a healthcare provider.
May be taken with or without food
Capsules must be swallowed whole — do not crush, chew, or open
Important: The contents of the capsule can irritate the eyes or skin. If a capsule breaks, avoid contact and wash exposed areas with water.
Treatment Notes:
The full effect of atomoxetine may take several weeks to become noticeable.
