Attention deficit disorder selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors

SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor SNRI = serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker ACE = angiotensin converting enzyme COX-2 = cyclooxygenase 2 ADHD = attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. [Pg.22]

Atomoxetine is a selective inhibitor of the norepinephrine reuptake transporter. Its actions, therefore, are mediated by potentiation of norepinephrine levels in noradrenergic synapses. It is used in the treatment of attention deficit disorders (see below). Atomoxetine has surprisingly little cardiovascular effect because it has a clonidine-like effect in the central nervous system to decrease sympathetic outflow while at the same time potentiating the effects of norepinephrine in the periphery. However, it may increase blood pressure in some patients. Norepinephrine reuptake is particularly important in the heart, particularly during sympathetic stimulation, and this... [Pg.188]

Novel use of reboxetine may be for attention deficit disorder, analogous to the actions of another norepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitor, atomoxetine, but few controiied studies... [Pg.410]
