Strattera, known generically as atomoxetine HCL, is the first and only non-stimulant medication approved by the FDA for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults.
Manufactured by Eli Lilly Co., Strattera is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Since being approved in 2002, more than 2 million prescriptions have been written for the drug.
Possible Side Effects of Taking Strattera
Strattera may increase thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts in children and teens. Recent reports also indicate Strattera may cause liver damage that can cause to acute liver failure and lead to death or the need for a liver transplant.
Strattera “Black Box” Warning

In addition, the new labels indicate the risk of serious liver damage.
