Strattera

Mechanism and Usage

Strattera (hydrochloride salt of atomoxetine) is an approved drug used in children, teens and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). The term AD/HD applies to a condition when hyperactivity is combined with attentional problems. Each of them can occur alone as well.
Strattera’s mechanism is based on inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake. As one of the brain chemicals, norepinephrine controls our activity. Strattera became the first non-controlled AD/HD medicine (not a drug for abuse). That is why Strattera is a recommended part of complex programs focused at solving this problem (along with social and psychological components).

Dosage and Taking
Strattera is to be taken orally (possibly, during eating). Keep to the dosage and regulations as recommended by a healthcare professional. Higher quantities do not make treatment more effective.

Skipped Dose
In case you failed to take Strattera, do it as soon as you will be able to. The next dose should be taken only in 24 hours.

Storage
Room temperature is recommended for storing the medicine.

Safety information
Strattera was found to restrain the rate of growth in children. In case of abnormalities with growth or weight gaining rate it is recommended to stop treatment. It is unknown yet whether treatment with Strattera affects final height and parameters of grown ups.

Strattera is not for you if you have higher eye pressure (narrow angle glaucoma).

Strattera may interact with MAO inhibitors resulting in life-threatening states (including coma). In case of taking certain antidepressants, such as Parnate and Nardil, there should be an interval of two weeks at least before starting to take Strattera. If such symptoms as tense muscles, heart rate disorders, high temperature or delirium occur seek for professional medical assistance right away.
