Usual dose: Take the capsules as a whole. Do not open, do not chew, do not crush them.
Take APO-ATOMOXETINE exactly as directed by the doctor. It is very important to not take a larger dose of atomoxetine than prescribed by the doctor.
The doctor may tell the patient to take APO-ATOMOXETINE once a day or twice a day (morning and late afternoon/early evening). To help in remembering to take APO-ATOMOXETINE, the patient may want to take it at the same time every day.
Improvement of ADHD symptoms is generally observed within 1 to 4 weeks of starting APO-ATOMOXETINE.
APO-ATOMOXETINE may be taken with or without food.
Do not open APO-ATOMOXETINE capsules, but if they are accidentally opened or broken, avoid contact with the powder and wash away any loose powder as soon as possible with water. If any of the powder gets in the eyes, rinse them with water immediately and contact the doctor.
Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible, but do not take more than the total daily dose in any 24-hour period.
