A new once-daily formulation of atomoxetine (Strattera), an investigative agent, appears to be a safe and effective for treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Dr. David Michelson, medical director of Lilly Research Laboratories in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States, and colleagues presented their data here October 24 at the 49th annual meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (ACAAP).
“The once-daily formulation appears to be as effective as twice-daily atomoxetine treatment,” said Dr. Michelson. “Treatment effects were seen into the evening, with dosing in the morning.” Noting the universal popularity of once-daily dosing of treatments for a variety of conditions, Dr. Michelson and his colleagues conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy of this formulation of atomoxetine in children and adolescents, six to 16 years (average approximately 10 years), diagnosed with ADHD.
