Overview

What is Atomoxetine?

Atomoxetine HCL is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Atomoxetine hydrochloride is the (-) isomer as determined by x-ray diffraction. The chemical designation is (-)-N-Methyl-3-phenyl-3-(-tolyloxy)-propylamine hydrochloride. The molecular formula is CHNO•HCL, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 291.82. The chemical structure is:

Atomoxetine hydrochloride USP is a white to practically white solid, which is sparingly soluble in water. Atomoxetine capsules are intended for oral administration only.

Each capsule contains atomoxetine Hydrochloride equivalent to 10, 18, 25, 40, 60, 80 or 100 mg of atomoxetine. The capsules also contain pregelatinized starch, dimethicone. The capsule shells contain one or more of the following: FD&C Blue No. 2, gelatin, iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow and titanium dioxide. The capsules are imprinted with edible black ink. The edible black ink contains black iron oxide E172, butyl alcohol, dehydrated alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, shellac, sodium lauryl sulfate and strong ammonia solution.

What should I look out for while using Atomoxetine?

Atomoxetine increased the risk of suicidal ideation in short-term studies in children or adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Anyone considering the use of atomoxetine hydrochloride in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Co-morbidities occurring with ADHD may be associated with an increase in the risk of suicidal ideation and/or behavior. Patients who are started on therapy should be monitored closely for suicidality (suicidal thinking and behavior), clinical worsening, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Atomoxetine hydrochloride is approved for ADHD in pediatric and adult patients. Atomoxetine hydrochloride is not approved for major depressive disorder.

Pooled analyses of short-term (6 to 18 weeks) placebo-controlled trials of atomoxetine hydrochloride in children and adolescents (a total of 12 trials involving over 2200 patients, including 11 trials in ADHD and 1 trial in enuresis) have revealed a greater risk of suicidal ideation early during treatment in those receiving atomoxetine hydrochloride compared to placebo. The average risk of suicidal ideation in patients receiving atomoxetine hydrochloride was 0.4% (5/1357 patients), compared to none in placebo-treated patients (851 patients). No suicides occurred in these trials [see

Clinical Pharmacology

The precise mechanism by which atomoxetine produces its therapeutic effects in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is unknown, but is thought to be related to selective inhibition of the pre-synaptic norepinephrine transporter, as determined in ex vivo uptake and neurotransmitter depletion studies.
