OverviewAtomoxetine is a new medication that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It helps improve attention and reduce impulsiveness. It works by increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain. It was developed as a medication for ADHD by Eli Lilly and Company in 1997.
Atomoxetine belongs to a class of drugs called selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). The drug is used to treat people who are hyperactive or have difficulty remembering or following instructions. Atomoxetine is also sometimes used in the treatment of depression. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications. Atomoxetine is an atypical antipsychotic (Atypical because it increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine). In some patients, it is prescribed for other reasons than as a treatment for ADHD.
Mechanism of Action
Atomoxetine is a partial agonist at the presynaptic 5-HT1A receptor. It does not bind to dopamine or norepinephrine receptors. Instead, it acts on the 5-HT1A neuron in the brain. This makes it able to increase activity in areas involved in attention and impulse control, such as the frontal and temporal areas of the brain, and the spinal cord. Atomoxetine does not affect serotonin levels in the brain. It does not affect the activity of other drugs that affect serotonin levels.
Pharmacologic Class and Mechanism
Atomoxetine works by increasing the amount of brain-derived mesolimbic dopamine. It increases activity in the areas involved in attention, behavior, motivation, and attention span.
Safety Profile
Atomoxetine has a long history in the treatment of ADHD. It has been approved for use by adults, adolescents, and young children. However, it has been approved for use by adults only when recommended by a healthcare provider.
The FDA approved this medication in 1997 for the treatment of ADHD in children. Atomoxetine is not approved for the treatment of ADHD in adults due to the very complex mechanism of action of this medication. It works by increasing the amount of brain-derived mesolimbic dopamine.
Atomoxetine has not been studied in children younger than 6 years of age due to the lack of an approved, approved indication.

ADHD medication is an oral prescription medication that belongs to a group of medications called non-stimulants. These medications work by affecting the central nervous system (CNS) in the brain, which helps the body to relax the muscles and decrease the frequency and intensity of attention and impulsiveness.
Strattera is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine. This means that the levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine are decreased, resulting in more activity in the brain. Strattera is not effective for the treatment of ADHD symptoms.
As with all medications, there are side effects that can be experienced with Strattera. The most common side effects include:
If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. They may recommend adjusting your dosage to avoid a severe side effect.
Strattera is available in tablet form. It can be taken orally or injected. The most common side effects are:
If you experience any of the above side effects, you should inform your doctor. They may need to adjust your dose or adjust your therapy as needed.
Taking Strattera with other medications that affect norepinephrine or serotonin can increase your risk of side effects. These include:
Strattera may not be safe to take with other medications that have a similar effect on serotonin and norepinephrine. This includes certain antidepressants, antipsychotics, and some antibiotics.
There are several treatment options for ADHD. Your doctor will help you determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation. The most effective approach to managing ADHD symptoms is through medication or behavioral therapy.
