It’s important to note that the dosage and duration of treatment with Strattera should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual’s specific needs and response to the medication.

How it works.

Strattera (atomoxetine) works by increasing the levels of a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine in the brain. Norepinephrine is a chemical messenger that plays a role in regulating attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Strattera is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), which means it blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine, thereby increasing its levels in the brain.

In individuals with ADHD, the levels of norepinephrine may be lower than normal, which can contribute to symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. By increasing the levels of norepinephrine, Strattera can help improve these symptoms and improve overall functioning.

Additionally, Strattera has been also shown to have an impact on other neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin which also plays a role in regulating attention, mood and behavior.

Strattera vs Vyvanse.

Strattera (atomoxetine) and Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) are both medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in both children and adults, but they work in different ways.

Strattera is a non-stimulant medication that increases the levels of a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine in the brain. Norepinephrine is a chemical messenger that plays a role in regulating attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Strattera works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine, which increases its levels in the brain and improves symptoms of ADHD.

Vyvanse is a stimulant medication that works by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters called dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. Dopamine and norepinephrine are chemical messengers that play a role in regulating attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

Both medications can be effective in treating ADHD, but the choice of medication will depend on the individual’s specific needs and response to treatment. Strattera may be a better option for individuals who cannot tolerate the side effects of stimulant medications or who have comorbid conditions such as anxiety or tics. Vyvanse may be a better option for individuals who have not responded well to non-stimulant medications or who need a longer-lasting effect throughout the day.

It’s important before you buy straterra online to work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option for you or your child. They will take into account various factors such as efficacy, side effects and drug interactions before deciding on the best medication.

Strattera vs Intuniv ER.

Strattera (atomoxetine) and Intuniv ER (guanfacine extended-release) are both medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents, but they work in different ways.

Strattera is a non-stimulant medication that increases the levels of a neurotransmitter called norepinephrine in the brain. Norepinephrine is a chemical messenger that plays a role in regulating attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Strattera works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine, which increases its levels in the brain and improves symptoms of ADHD.

Intuniv ER is also a non-stimulant medication that works by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters called norepinephrine in the brain. Intuniv ER works by selectively binding to alpha-2A adrenergic receptors in the brain, which can help to increase the levels of norepinephrine and improve attention and reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity. Intuniv ER is taken once a day, usually in the morning, and the dosage is typically adjusted over time to achieve the best results.

Both medications can be effective in treating ADHD, but the choice of medication will depend on the individual’s specific needs and response to treatment. Strattera may be a better option for individuals who have comorbid conditions such as anxiety or tics, while Intuniv ER may be a better option for individuals who have not responded well to other non-stimulant medications.

It’s important to work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option for you or your child. They will take into account various factors such as efficacy, side effects and drug interactions before deciding on the best medication.
