Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Atomox Apex 10 mg capsules must be used exactly as prescribed by a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
• Capsules should be swallowed whole with water; do not open, crush, or chew the capsules.
• May be taken with or without food; taking with food may help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort in some patients.
• General dosing guidance (based on atomoxetine clinical use; specific regimen must be individualized by the doctor):
• Children and adolescents up to 70 kg body weight: usual initial total daily dose is approximately 0.5 mg/kg, increased after a minimum of 3 days to a target total daily dose of about 1.2 mg/kg per day. The total daily dose should not exceed 1.4 mg/kg or 100 mg (whichever is less). The daily dose may be given once in the morning or divided into morning and late afternoon/early evening doses.
• Children and adolescents over 70 kg body weight and adults: usual initial dose is 40 mg per day, increased after a minimum of 3 days to a target total daily dose of about 80 mg per day. The dose may be given once daily in the morning or divided into morning and late afternoon/early evening doses. The maximum total daily dose is 100 mg.
• The 10 mg strength is typically used for dose titration, dose adjustment, or in patients requiring lower daily doses as determined by the physician.
• Do not change the dose or stop the medication without consulting your doctor. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to the time of the next dose; do not double the dose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective non-stimulant management of ADHD symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults.
• Helps improve attention, concentration, and the ability to stay focused on tasks.
• Reduces hyperactivity and impulsive behavior, supporting better self-control.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to atomoxetine or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.
• Contraindicated in patients with severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders where increases in blood pressure or heart rate could be problematic (e.g., severe hypertension, serious heart disease), unless the prescriber judges that the benefits outweigh the risks.
• Do not use atomoxetine in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within at least 14 days of discontinuing an MAOI due to risk of serious adverse reactions.
• Use with caution in patients with hypertension, tachycardia, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or a history of stroke; regular monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate is recommended.
• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; dose adjustment may be required. Severe liver injury has been reported rarely with atomoxetine.
• May increase risk of suicidal thoughts in children and adolescents, especially at the beginning of treatment or when doses are changed; close monitoring of mood, behavior, and any unusual changes is essential.
• May cause growth delay (weight and height) in children and adolescents; periodic monitoring of growth parameters is recommended.
• May cause urinary retention or difficulty urinating, particularly in males; caution in patients with urinary outflow obstruction or prostatic disorders.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Atomoxetine should be used during pregnancy or lactation only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are taking other medications, especially antidepressants, antihypertensives, asthma medications, or drugs affecting heart rhythm.
• Atomox Apex is a prescription medicine and is not intended for self-diagnosis or self-treatment.
• Keep out of reach of children.
