Atomoxetine is used for:
Treating ADHD.
Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Exactly how Atomoxetine works to treat ADHD is not known. Atomoxetine increases certain chemicals (eg, norepinephrine) in the brain. This may affect attention span and behavior.
Do NOT use Atomoxetine if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Atomoxetine
- you are taking or have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
- you have certain heart problems (eg, heart defect, heart failure), certain types of irregular heartbeat, severe blood vessel problems, or narrow-angle glaucoma
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
