Introduction: Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents. Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant drug used in the treatment of ADHD. Case Presentation: In this article, a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which occurred in an 11-year-old boy with an increased dose of atomoxetin...

objective(s):spinal cord injury (sci) often causes serious and irreversible neurological deficit leading to disability or impairment of normal physical activity. atomoxetine, a selective norepinephrine transporter (net) inhibitor has gained much attention in the field of the neurodevelopmental disorder, but its effect on sci has not been evaluated. the present study has been undertaken to inves...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS To evaluate the effects of paroxetine on the pharmacokinetics of atomoxetine and its main metabolite, 4-hydroxyatomoxetine-O-glucuronide, after coadministration of atomoxetine and paroxetine in healthy volunteers. METHODS 22 healthy volunteers, extensive metabolizers, took part in this open-label, non-randomized, clinical trial. The study consisted of two periods: Referenc...

background: the aim of this study was to directly compare efficacy of atomoxetine and methylphenidate in treatment of children and adolescents 6- 18 years.   methods: all published, randomized, open label or double blind trials, comparing the efficacy of methylphenidate with atomoxetine in treatment of children diagnosed with adhd, using dsm-iv criteria were included in this study; adhd rating ...

Atomoxetine (ATX), a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is a non-stimulant approved for the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Little is known about the molecular basis for its therapeutic effect. The objective of this animal study was to determine alterations in gene expression patterns in the prefrontal cortex after long-term administration of atomoxetine....

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder and a plethora of new data has been published from clinical trials and national epidemiological databases in the last three years. In the United Kingdom Atomoxetine is currently the only licensed non-stimulant medication. As part of a systematic review of atomoxetine data Jan 2009-June 2011 formal searches found 750 citations....

OBJECTIVE Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is typically treated over extended periods; however, few placebo-controlled, long-term studies of efficacy have been reported. METHOD In a global multicenter study, children and adolescents who responded to an initial 12-week, open-label period of treatment with atomoxetine, a nonstimulant treatment for ADHD, were randomized to continu...

These studies were designed to characterize the disposition and metabolism of atomoxetine hydrochloride [(-)-N-methyl-gamma-(2-methylphenoxy)benzenepropanamine hydrochloride; formerly know as tomoxetine hydrochloride] in Fischer 344 rats and beagle dogs. Atomoxetine was well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and cleared primarily by metabolism with the majority of its metabolites being e...
