Mechanism of Action

Atomoxetine selectively inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine in the central nervous system, increasing its concentration in synaptic clefts. This helps improve attention, concentration, behavioral control, and reduces impulsivity and hyperactivity symptoms. Unlike stimulant medications, atomoxetine does not act as a psychostimulant and has no known addictive potential.
