Overview

What Atomoxetine (Atominex) is

Atomoxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor and a non-stimulant treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Formulation and strengths of the Atominex product are to be confirmed with the partner pharmacy.

Suitability and dosing are decided by a prescriber on the basis of the approved product information.

How it works

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a prescription?

Atomoxetine (Atominex) is a prescription-only medicine. After your request, the partner pharmacy verifies whether and how supply is possible, for example through an existing prescription or an assessment by an independent doctor where permitted.

How is it different from stimulant medicines?

Atomoxetine is not a stimulant and is not a controlled drug. It acts on noradrenaline rather than releasing dopamine, and its effect builds over weeks rather than hours.

How long before it works?

The effect develops gradually; the product information describes a response that may take several weeks to become established.

Do I pay when I send a request?

No. Payment is arranged individually with customer service once your request has been reviewed and can proceed.
