Request a Strattera (Atomoxetine) Prescription Online Today

Medications are prescribed at the sole discretion of a PlushCare physician. Prescriptions for non-controlled substances can only be written after a medical evaluation. Scheduling an appointment does not guarantee that a medication can or will be prescribed.

PlushCare cannot write prescriptions for ADHD medication such as Adderall, Ritalin, and other controlled substances. Treatment of ADHD will depend on the individual’s symptoms, age, and the severity of impact. Prescription medication is a common form of treatment for ADHD. Treatment is most effective when medication therapy is combined with behavioral strategies.

Strattera affects how much norepinephrine is taken up by receptors in your brain. Atomoxetine helps to restore the balance of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter. This improved balance helps reduce symptoms of ADHD.

The dosage of Strattera will vary based on a patient's age, size, and symptoms. Typically, adults start on a dose of 40 mg taken once a day for at least three to four days. Then, the dosage usually increases to 80 mg, either taken once a day or split into two 40 mg doses. After two to three weeks, patients may then be increased to a dosage of 100 mg per day. 

Always follow your prescribing doctor's dosage instructions and check with them before changing your dose.
