What is Strattera (Atomoxetine) prescribed for?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHA, affects children and teens and it can continue into adulthood. And it is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder within children. Children with ADHD may seem to be very hyperactive and unable to control their impulses, or perhaps they have trouble with paying attention. Adults with ADHA may have issues with managing time, being organized, setting goals and holding down a job.  And they may also have problems with relationships, self esteem, and addiction.

Atomoxetine, the active ingredient in Strattera, is used to treat deficit hyperactivity disorder, better known as ADHD. It is a condition with such symptoms as inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. However, the symptoms do different from person to person. But the symptoms always begin in childhood. Many adults with ADHD have problems with managing time, being organized, setting goals, and holding down a job.

This medication is part of a treatment plan that includes physiological, social, and other treatments. And when taken it may help to increase the ability to pay attention, concentrate, stay focused and to stop fidgeting. It is thought to work by restoring the balance of a natural substance, called a neurotransmitter, within the brain.

This medication is taken by mouth, with or without food, and usually 1 to 2 times a day, or as directed to you by your doctor. The first dose is usually taken when you wake up in the morning. If a second dose is prescribed, take it as directed by your doctor, usually in the late afternoon/early evening. Taking this medication late in the day may cause trouble sleeping (insomnia).

Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush, chew or open the capsule.  If the capsule is opened or broken avoid any contact with the powder and wash away any loose powder as soon as possible with some water. If it gets in your eyes, flush with plenty of water right away and then contact your doctor.

The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other drugs you may be taking.
