Short Description of Strattera
Strattera is a medication primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in both children and adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Strattera works by affecting the chemicals in the brain that contribute to impulse control and hyperactivity.
Unlike other ADHD medications that are stimulants, Strattera is a non-stimulant medication, making it a popular choice for individuals who do not respond well to stimulants or have concerns about their potential for abuse.
Strattera is usually prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for ADHD, which may include behavioral therapy, counseling, and other interventions to manage symptoms effectively.
