1. What Strattera is and what it is used for
What it is used for
Strattera contains atomoxetine and is used to treat attention-
deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is used
- in children over six years of age,
- in young people,
- in adults,
It is used only as a part of the total treatment of the disease
which also requires treatments which do not involve medicines,
such as counselling and behavioural therapy
It is not for use as a treatment for ADHD in children under 6
years of age as it is not known if the drug works or is safe in
these people.
In adults, Strattera is used to treat ADHD when the symptoms are
very troublesome and affect your work or social life and when
you have had symptoms of the disease as a child.
How it works
Strattera increases the amount of noradrenaline in the brain. This
is a chemical that is produced naturally, and increases attention
and decreases impulsiveness and hyperactivity in patients with
ADHD. This medicine has been prescribed to help control the
symptoms of ADHD. This medicine is not a stimulant and is
therefore not addictive.
It may take a few weeks after you start the medicine
