Strattera (atomoxetine) is a medication that can help individuals with ADHD with concentration difficulties. This is particularly effective for individuals who take a combination of stimulants, including methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamines. By inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine, Strattera helps to restore the balance of norepinephrine in the brain. This neurotransmitter plays a crucial role in attention, impulse control, and decision making. This medication is often prescribed for children and adolescents, as it is known for its efficacy in pediatric ADHD management. It is important for individuals considering Strattera to be aware of the potential side effects and any interactions with other medications they may be taking. Strattera can also interact with certain foods and supplements, so it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting Strattera. Additionally, Strattera is not suitable for children and adolescents because it can have serious side effects in young children and adolescents, such as anxiety, tremors, and impulsiveness. The use of Strattera should always be preceded by a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In some cases, Strattera may be prescribed off-label for other uses.
The side effects experienced with Strattera are usually mild and temporary. However, some individuals may experience more serious side effects. Some individuals may experience:

The safety profile of the use of Strattera in non-cancerous indications was evaluated in 1 patient with non-cancerous indications. In the presence of treatment-naïve patients, the mean change in total daily dose was <0.15 mg/day (mean change from baseline in total daily dose, +/− 0.40 mg/day) and the mean change in total daily dose was <0.15 mg/day (mean change from baseline in total daily dose, +/− 0.20 mg/day). Safety was evaluated in 4 patients with non-cancerous indications and 4 patients with primary non-cancerous indications. The safety profile of the use of Strattera in non-cancerous indications was evaluated in 2 patients with non-cancerous indications.

Objective: To assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of atomoxetine (Strattera) in the treatment of ADHD. Methods: Participants included adult patients who had ADHD who received a combination of methylphenidate (Ritalin) and atomoxetine. All patients were diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor, and were asked about their symptoms and their response to the medication. The study included 662 adult patients with ADHD who were treated with atomoxetine and were followed up for 6 months. The main outcome measure was the change in total ADHD symptoms (TS) and the change in daily symptomatology (DTS) as measured by the International Adult ADHD Severity Scale (IAAS). The efficacy question was whether the change in the T-symptom scores of the patients (T-SRS) and T-DTS was significantly better than the change in the T-SRS, in patients receiving atomoxetine (Strattera). Secondary outcomes were T-SRS, the total ADHD symptoms and the DTS score, and the change in T-SRS as measured by the ADHD Global Assessment Scale (ADHD-GAS). Results: Of the 662 patients included, 155 were treated with atomoxetine and were followed up for 6 months. The mean change in T-SRS and the change in the T-SRS in patients receiving atomoxetine was significantly greater than the change in T-SRS in patients receiving atomoxetine alone. The mean change in T-SRS was significantly better than the change in T-SRS in patients receiving atomoxetine. The mean change in the T-DTS was significantly better than the change in the T-SRS.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of atomoxetine (Strattera) in the treatment of ADHD. Methods: Of the 155 patients treated with atomoxetine and followed up for 6 months, the patients were followed up for the first year for assessment of the T-SRS and the T-DTS. The mean change in T-SRS and the change in the T-DTS was significantly better than the change in T-SRS in patients receiving atomoxetine alone. The mean change in the T-SRS was significantly better than the change in T-SRS in patients receiving atomoxetine.Efficacy: Atomoxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of ADHD and has been shown to have a positive effect on ADHD symptoms. The most common adverse events (AEs) reported were headache, insomnia, nausea, and dizziness. A positive effect on ADHD symptoms was observed with atomoxetine, with higher doses having a higher effect on ADHD symptoms. In addition, atomoxetine was found to improve ADHD symptoms in some patients. However, in some patients the drug does not improve ADHD symptoms. The most common AEs reported were headache and insomnia. The incidence of serious AEs was higher in patients taking atomoxetine. The most common treatment-related AEs were mood disorder (nausea, depression) and insomnia. The most common adverse events reported were headache and insomnia.Dosage: Atomoxetine (Strattera) is usually prescribed once daily, as prescribed by a doctor. For patients with a recent history of ADHD, atomoxetine is usually started at a low dose and increased gradually to a dose that is sufficient to treat ADHD symptoms. The dose of atomoxetine should be gradually increased in order to achieve the desired effect.
