ADHD & Focus
This range holds atomoxetine tablets used for ADHD, such as Strattera and Axepta, alongside modafinil and armodafinil tablets used for narcolepsy and other wakefulness needs, such as Modalert.
Key points
- ADHD diagnosis relies on a full clinical and psychosocial assessment, not a rating scale alone, according to NICE.
- Atomoxetine is one of the non-stimulant ADHD medicine options NICE lists for defined circumstances.
- ADHD support can include environmental changes and talking therapies alongside medication.
Atomoxetine tablets and wakefulness medicines
Strattera and Axepta are Atomoxetine tablets, and both list Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as their indication, making atomoxetine the ADHD ingredient in this range. Modafinil and Armodafinil tablets, found in Modalert and Artvigil, are listed for narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea and shift work sleep disorder rather than ADHD, so they sit in this range for wakefulness reasons rather than an ADHD diagnosis.
