Axepta-10

Uses
Axepta (Atomoxetine Hydrochloride) is prescribed as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (more commonly referred to as ADHD). This medication can help patients affected by this condition to concentrate and focus, while at the same time reducing hyperactive behaviour. The active ingredient in this drug is a type of medicine known as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and it works by increasing the amount of a natural chemical in the brain known as norepinephrine, a substance responsible for controlling behaviour.

Dosage and Administration
Axepta (Atomoxetine Hydrochloride) comes in the form of tablets. Because the correct dosage can vary greatly for each patient, it is necessary to see your doctor before commencing treatment, so that the proper dosage can be prescribed. You may be told to take it once per day, in the morning. However, it is also possible that you will be told to take it twice per day, once in the morning and again in the afternoon or evening. Follow your doctor's instructions, and only take the prescribed amount. It is worth noting that although an improvement in symptoms may be noticed after a week of treatment, it normally takes one month for the full benefits to be noticed.
