Description
Axepta 40 mg contains atomoxetine, with each hard capsule providing 40 mg atomoxetine (equivalent to 45.71 mg atomoxetine hydrochloride). It is a prescription medication used in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults under medical supervision.
Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI for ADHD use) that helps improve attention span, focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity management. Unlike stimulant ADHD medications, Axepta offers a non-stimulant treatment option that may be appropriate for selected patients.
