摘要: ABSTRACT Background Atomoxetine, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor effective in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is metabolized through cytochrome P-450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme pathway, which genetically polymorphic humans. Variations plasma atomoxetine exposures can occur because genetic variation or as consequence coadministration with drugs that inhibit CYP2D6. Method We examined effects CYP2D6 on efficacy, safety, and tolerability children adolescents using pooled data from clinical trials. Results At endpoint, poor metabolizers had markedly greater reductions mean symptom severity scores compared extensive ( p Conclusions These results suggest taking doses up to 1.8 mg/kg/day are likely have increases cardiovascular tone, some differences similar doses.
