Atomoxetine 80mg Capsules
SKU GME663Product Introduction
Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. It is used as part of a broader management plan and does not provide an immediate stimulant-like effect after a single dose.
How to use
Swallow capsules intact on the prescribed regular schedule, with or without food. Do not open them because the contents can irritate the eyes; timing may be adjusted for nausea or sleep effects.
How it works
Selective inhibition of noradrenaline reuptake increases signalling involved in attention and impulse control.
Side effects
Reduced appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, sleep disturbance and increased pulse or blood pressure can occur.
Important information
Monitor mood and suicidal thinking, especially in younger patients. Cardiovascular disease, liver symptoms and MAO inhibitors require particular attention.
Uses
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Benefits
Can improve attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity over a sustained treatment period.
Will one dose improve attention immediately?
Full benefit develops over weeks; it is not an on-demand concentration tablet.
Can the capsule be opened into food?
Do not open it; ask the pharmacist about a suitable alternative formulation.
Why are pulse and blood pressure measured?
Atomoxetine can increase both and may be unsuitable with some cardiac conditions.
Which mood changes need prompt review?
New suicidal thoughts, marked agitation or unusual behavioural changes require immediate clinical contact.
Can it be taken with an MAO inhibitor?
No. Do not combine atomoxetine with an MAOI or use either within 14 days of stopping the other, because a serious interaction can occur.
What liver symptoms should be reported?
Jaundice, dark urine, itching or upper-abdominal pain needs assessment.
Can appetite loss affect growth monitoring?
Yes. Weight and growth are monitored in children and adolescents.
Does it replace educational and behavioural support?
No. Medication is one component of an ADHD management plan.
