Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Atomoxetine 4 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a specially compounded medication designed to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in both children and adults. This formulation is a liquid dosage form in which the active ingredient, atomoxetine, is uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium. This creates a homogeneous mixture that is easy to administer and more palatable than other dosage forms.

Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that functions by increasing the levels of norepinephrine in the brain. This helps to enhance focus and reduce hyperactivity, thereby alleviating symptoms of ADHD such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The most common side effects include nausea, decreased appetite, and insomnia.

Atomoxetine 4 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a significant treatment option for patients with ADHD, as it can greatly improve their quality of life. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is not recommended for use in children under 6 years of age due to the potential for adverse effects.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
