Strattera is the first and only non-stimulant medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. Strattera is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, a class of ADHD drugs that works differently from the other ADHD medications available.

Strattera side effects for children and adolescents include:

  • Liver dysfunction or severe liver damage such acute hepatitis
  • Jaundice (yellow skin or eyes)
  • Dark urine
  • Tenderness on the right side of the abdomen
  • Suicidal thoughts

Strattera (generic-atomoxetine) is produced by Eli Lilly and Company. Strattera was approved by the FDA in late 2002 and has rapidly risen to the ranks of best seller. In 2003, 3.5 million prescriptions were prescribed for Strattera in the United States. Retail sales exceeded $390 million.

In September 2005, the FDA advised Eli Lilly to put a label include a boxed warning and additional warning statements that alerts health care providers about the increased risk of suicidal thinking in children and adolescents.

On December 17, 2004, FDA issued a new bold label warning for Strattera to include the potential for severe liver toxicity following reports of two patients who suffered severe liver injury. Both patients recovered.

The new Strattera warning advises of severe liver injury that may progress to liver failure, potentially resulting in death, or the need for a liver transplant in some patients. The labeling also notes that the number of actual cases of severe liver injury is unknown because of under-reporting of post-marketing adverse events. The FDA estimates that as few as 1 in 100 to 1 in 10 serious adverse drug reactions are reported to the agency.
