How It Works:
Atomoxetine selectively inhibits norepinephrine reuptake in the brain, increasing its availability at synapses. This leads to better regulation of attention, impulse control, and behavioural stability without the stimulant effects associated with traditional ADHD drugs.
Recommended For:
Children aged 6+ diagnosed with ADHD
Adolescents with behavioural or attention disorders
Adults with ongoing or late-diagnosed ADHD symptoms
Patients who cannot tolerate stimulant medications
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents and adults
