Key points

  • Diagnosis relies on a full clinical and psychosocial assessment, not a rating scale alone, NICE guidance says.
  • Atomoxetine is one of the non-stimulant ADHD medicine choices NICE recognises for defined circumstances.
  • Wider support for ADHD can include environmental changes and talking therapies alongside medication.

ADHD tablets and wakefulness medicines

Atomoxetine is the non-stimulant medicine in both Strattera and Axepta, the two tablets here listed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Modalert contains modafinil and Artvigil contains armodafinil, and each is listed for narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea and shift work sleep disorder rather than ADHD. Their place in this range reflects wakefulness support, not an ADHD indication.
