What is Atomoxetine and what is it used for:
Atomoxetine is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help with impulse control, attention span, and behavior.
How to take Atomoxetine:
Atomoxetine is taken orally, usually once or twice daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It may take several weeks for the full benefits of the medication to be felt. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as suddenly stopping Atomoxetine can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Possible side effects of Atomoxetine:
Atomoxetine may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea or vomiting
Headache
Dry mouth
Insomnia or drowsiness
Mood changes or irritability
Decreased appetite or weight loss
Abdominal pain
Sexual dysfunction
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Atomoxetine:
Before taking Atomoxetine, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, glaucoma, or a history of mental illness. Atomoxetine may interact with certain medications, including other ADHD medications, blood thinners, and antidepressants.
Atomoxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior, particularly in children, adolescents, and young adults. Close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during the first few months of treatment or after a change in dosage.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Atomoxetine.
