Atomoxetine Tips from Pharmacists

• You can take atomoxetine with or without food. If you have gastrointestinal side effects like an upset stomach, taking it with food might help.

• Atomoxetine can make you feel dizzy and lightheaded. These side effects usually get better after a few days once your body has gotten used to the medicine. Do not drive or do other hazardous activities until you know how atomoxetine affects you. Arise slowly out of bed to prevent falls.

• Swallow the atomoxetine capsules whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew them. If the powder spills out, wash your hands carefully. Do not touch your eyes, as the powder can irritate the eyes. Rinse your eyes with water if you accidentally touch your eyes.

• Tell your doctor without delay if you notice any unusual changes in mood or behavior while on atomoxetine.
